"It's been three months since Countess Annie de Silva slipped away from her home before dawn, leaving a cryptic note and no clue as to her destination. That's an eternity for friends as devoted as the Sisterhood. They've honored Annie's request for privacy long enough. Now they're desperate to ensure that their founding member is alive and well, and that means tracking her down--wherever in the world she might be. Myra Rutledge, Annie's closest confidante for many decades, has some ideas about that. She alone knows the secrets of Annie's past, including the remote mountain in Spain where Annie spent some of the best--and worst--days of her life with her first husband, Count Armand de Silva. Myra is convinced Annie has gone back for some reason, but is it of her own free will, or is she being held captive? Annie vowed that she'd never return to the mountain or the stunning monastery there. But the memories of the past have called her back. Now, she needs allies who are fearless, loyal, and willing to do whatever it takes to see justice done. And with the safety of one of their own on the line, the Sisterhood won't let her down."-- Publisher's description.
