A Gem of a Mystery Takes Center Stage
Walk through Doors to the Past via a new series of historical stories
of romance and adventure.
Elise Malvern has a habit of letting people down. Her former boyfriend
who hoped she'd be his bride. Her grandfather who hoped she'd take over
the family's auction company. But mostly she's disappointed herself.
What's the point of pursuing her passion as a violinist, if she is too
scared to audition for a seat in the Pittsburgh Symphony? Her internship
at the elegant Heinz Hall places her in the wings of the stage, but
never on it. By accident, she discovers an old stage prop. Her instincts
tell her there's more to the paste necklace than meets the eye. Whether
a good idea or not, she accepts help from a childhood friend, who
happens to be country music megastar--Pierson Brooks. Pierson and Elise
share a history; one she doesn't care to repeat. The more involved they
become in the mystery, the more things get tangled, including her heart.
A century earlier...
Sophie Walters longs for center stage, her name on the marquee, and all
that jazz, but climbing her way into an acting career is more difficult
than she imagined. Having spoiled all her chances in Hollywood, she
returns to Pittsburgh, accepting an insignificant role in a popular
production. She watches her dreams pass by from behind the curtain at
the illustrious Loew's Penn Theatre. She finally gets the coveted
spotlight, but not for her talent. No, her surge to fame is all one
terrible mistake. Somehow, she's suspected to be a notorious jewel thief
known around Pittsburgh as The Mirage. The man she pleads for help is
none other than the man she jilted at the altar five years before,
Sterling Monroe.
