In a Matter
(2026)(The third book in the Mystery at Clover Ridge Romance series)
A Story by Everlee Whitman
She worried that someone would be seeking her out for the wrong reasons, around every corner.
Erin Malloy has learned to create beauty out of broken things. As a jeweler who restores heirlooms and designs pieces that carry people’s stories, she’s built her life around quiet craftsmanship and a heart carefully guarded. But when a jeweled emerald cross is left at the shop she now runs for her uncle, the mystery surrounding it cuts far deeper than metal or stone. Its origins trace into Erin’s own lineage—awakening secrets she’s spent years avoiding and a faith she’s not sure she remembers how to trust.
Noah Brennan came to Clover Ridge to photograph the town revival and Irish Festival, capturing the charm and contradictions of a place where light and shadows often blur. Cynical but searching, he sees something raw and unvarnished in Erin—something that stirs his own long-buried questions. When the emerald cross pulls them into old archives, alleyway whispers, and legends carried across generations, their fragile partnership becomes something more. As danger closes in around the relic’s trail, Erin and Noah discover that true redemption isn’t found in gold or history, but in the God who restores what has been stolen—truth, courage, and the heart itself.
Set against the historic charm of Michigan’s north woods, The Mystery at Clover Ridge series draws readers into a world shaped by stained glass, cobblestone streets, and the lingering hymns of Irish settlers whose faith still anchors the town. Beneath the hum of bakery ovens and the toll of church bells, forgotten ledgers, sealed letters, and long-hidden treasures rise to the surface, reminding Clover Ridge that the past is never lost—it is waiting to be found.
Guided by the words of Proverbs 25:2 (NIV), ‘It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings,’ each book follows men and women who uncover more than secrets—they uncover God’s redemptive work in their own lives. In Clover Ridge, the truest treasure is not what history left behind but what love and faith reveal in the hearts willing to seek Him.
