How did the necklace end up in modern-day New York? Who is handsome Raj Sinclair and what is his connection to the jewels? In a tale that spans the globe across many generations, we learn the hidden truths.
Gemma is Psychic. Jewels speak to her and tell her their history. When her mother is murdered, Gemma wears the priceless necklace her mother was wearing at the time of her death and attempts to see the face of her mother’s murderer. Instead she’s swept into British India where a young princess fights against the constraints of her culture and heritage to find love.
As Gemma finds each piece in the bridal suite, she learns more and more of the story and how the suite came to be scattered across time and continents. Raj Sinclair is a descendant of the young British doctor who once loved an Indian princess. He wants to immortalize the love story of his ancestor in print. As he unites with Gemma to locate each piece of the jewelry, danger stalks them and the people who once owned the pieces.
It appears that the soul of the corrupt Rajah, who once lusted after and lost a beautiful princess, has been reincarnated and is on the hunt for vengeance. In this, her 100th published book, Ms. Rosemoor spins a fantastical tale which takes Gemma and Raj across the globe in their search to unite the bridal suite. Are they the reincarnated souls of a princess and her lover who have been reborn to find the everlasting love that once eluded Raj’s ancestor?

Summary:
Jewelry designer Gemma Hewitt has a gift. Gems and jewelry speak to her, which inspires her designs, and also sends her on dark adventures across the globe as she seeks out historic pieces. After her mother is brutally murdered, Gemma inherits her famed jeweled collar, which she hopes will lead her to see the face of her mother’s killer and bring him to justice. Instead, she’s thrown back to 1901 India where she sees the young woman about to be married with a pendant that matches her jeweled collar. When she’s hired to find the entire bridal suite, she hopes she can use the jewels to save her family’s fortune. Can she trust the handsome, enigmatic man who promises to help her on her quest, or is he the one she should be running from?
British reporter/photographer Raj Sinclair wants the bridal suite for his own reasons. Attracted to Gemma, he senses a connection with her as if he’s known her for a very long time. When danger stalks her, he will do anything to protect her.
The treasure hunt takes them to cities from the US to Britain to France, ending in India where the bridal suite is finally rejoined… and three reincarnated souls get another chance to make things right.
