Books like Secrets by Fern Michaels

Cullen and Luna Bodman learned that every antique tells a story while growing up in their parents’ furniture business. Now, in their own restoration shop and café, they frequently find themselves at the center of those stories, unraveling mysteries for clients. When a mysterious steamer chest arrives at their shop, Cullen discovers a locked diary and letter asking for restoration to a rightful owner, along with a wooden box of ticket stubs and an undated carnival flyer. The artifacts pull the Bodmans into a surprising contemporary mystery that tests Luna’s burgeoning relationship with U.S. Marshal Christopher Gaines, who cautions her against a wild goose chase. As intuition drives Luna forward, the diary’s secrets reveal a modern connection and a paranormal element that may still hold power today. Set in contemporary New York and featuring antiques, restoration, romance, and a dash of paranormal intrigue, "Secrets" follows the Bodmans as they piece together the past to protect the present.
