About the Book
Title: The Hidden Key of Brooke Sumner
Series: Treasures of Halstead Manor #3
Author: Susan L. Tuttle
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: March 24, 2026
Genre: Mystery & Suspense / Romance
Will the key unlock more than a vault filled with treasure? Brooke Sumner has been carefully avoiding Storm Whitlock ever since he betrayed her trust. When he joins Caspar’s mysterious treasure-hunting group, she steps away to focus on her antique shop and keep herself busy. Then Caspar invites her back for one final assignment, and Brooke is torn. Returning to Halstead Manor to help the team find the second half of a key is intriguing. It also means she’d be working with Storm. But she doesn’t trust his motives, so she reluctantly rejoins to keep him in check. As they dive into their expedition, Brooke finds her heart softening toward those she’d once held at arm’s length. And is it possible she misunderstood Storm’s betrayal of their friendship? “In this friends-to-more romance, we get to see the beauty of being known, being loved, and finding the people who want to walk alongside us.” —Toni Shiloh, Christy Award-winning author PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Kregel Publications | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Christianbook | BookBub | Bookshop

My Review
We don’t always appear to be the person we are. I fell in love with the characters in this suspenseful romance. The featured character is Brook Sumner who feels lost and alone. She doesn’t want to get close to many of the people she’s worked with. She also wants to stay far away from her childhood friend, Storm.
There was a group of friends who worked as art dealers or with antiques. Brooke thought that Storm was working with the wrong crowd. She was right to fear Storm, because he was busy trying to protect her in a very dangerous game. Whose side was he own, anyway?
There’s a lot of suspense in the plot and romance, too. I loved that the reader is led through all the drama, only to be totally surprised in the end. I hope to read the other books in this series, Treasures of Halstead Manor.
