While searching for her family's long-lost heirloom ring, military widow Vanessa Mayfield meets handsome antique dealer Ben Miller. The two are drawn to each other and forge a friendship that soon becomes a deep and breathtaking romance. But neither are sure that what they've found can last.
As Vanessa organizes her annual Columbus Cares Christmas Military Dance, she looks forward to her daughter's return from college. But Vanessa hasn't told Sadie about Ben. After all, Vanessa hadn't anticipated finding love again after losing her husband. And now she wrestles with feelings that are becoming hard to ignore.
Just as Ben is about to declare his love for Vanessa, he learns more about her missing Christmas ring: her great grandfather found it in France on D-Day, and engraved on the band is a single meaningful word. The details confirm a terrible truth, one that Ben cannot ignore.
Certain he now knows where Vanessa's ring is, Ben leaves town in a frantic rush. But can he stop a certain sale, or will Vanessa's ring be lost forever? Days before Christmas, when all seems hopeless, Ben and Vanessa learn an important eternal truth: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

My Review
This is such a great read, makes you smile, and when the last page is turned, I wanted more!
This is story of love and loss, from husbands, killed in action, to loosing a spouse. It is also about a heirloom ring, with quite the history behind it.
We visit a lot of antique shops, and find some great treasures, and all the while we are on the lookout for the lost ring.
This is a story that keeps giving, doing so much for our military, and we are there at one of the benefit dances.
This is a really sweet romance, and most of all a great love of God.
I did love that we are gifted with an epilogue.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.
