London, Present day. As fiercely-independent Georgia clutches a precious gem stone in her hands, she has no idea how it relates to her own family. The rare pink sapphire was left for her at Hope's House, a home for unmarried mothers.
Soon Georgia discovers that the sapphire was once part of a precious tiara owned by the Italian Royal family, who were forced to move to Geneva after being exiled from their home. A local collector named Luca has been searching for the missing stone for years and instantly wants to meet with Georgia.
