Funeral director Rebecca Grant is no stranger to final requests. For most clients, meeting with her is an act of love, lightening the burden on those left behind. Some are driven by tradition, while others seek Rebecca’s discretion to keep a secret buried.

When Amelia Preston turns to Rebecca with a heartfelt plea, she entrusts her with a decades-old secret and an exquisite, jeweled box, a cherished gift from a man in her past. Agreeing to carry out Amelia’s mysterious request demands more of Rebecca than discretion. It means she must deceive her treasured friend, Amelia’s daughter, Leah.

But Amelia is not the only one in her family with something to hide, and after her passing, a crisis looms. Rebecca’s close ties to the wealthy family demand that she navigate a storm of betrayal, risking everything to keep her promise to Amelia. Her integrity. Her reputation. Even her life.
