[nolak_2 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This story opens with Lady Joanna coming to Hillary Edwards and telling her that she is her lost granddaughter who was presumed dead. The intrigue continues when she faces her parents and finds that another "daughter" has come to claim her place in the last 3 months after Lady Joanna dies.Logan calls his brother-in-laws friend to help him determine who is the true heir. The duties of Parliament uncovers criminal activities in a huge firm that has previously been thought spotless, all of which leads them to Logan's and Allison's wartime and family enemies. Particularly poignant is the forgiving of the enemies despite their refusal to let go of old grudges. The "treasure" is recovered, but is it the treasure you think it is? Pella and Phillips concluding this series with all the seams nicely sewn up and a satisfying and happy ending.
