She’s on the run… Brilliant art appraiser Alex Northrop’s ex used stolen art to fund his nefarious activities. Now he wants her dead. But it isn’t just herself she’s worried about – if he discovers who she really is, he’ll kill her family.

“The plot is filled with globe-trotting intrigue, stolen art, secret identities, and dangerous villains, and Forand balances the suspenseful mystery with a passionate romance. Alex is an intriguing heroine–a linguistic genius and a master of disguise with an uncanny eye for appraising art. She’s complemented by Henry, a dashing anthropology professor and earl who’s dedicated his life to helping abused women and children. Their romance unfolds in scenes that are both tender and erotic. The supporting characters are also strong, including Simon, whose sexy swagger conceals an unrequited love…Detailed settings and references to real stolen art, including Henri Matisse’s 1901 painting The Luxembourg Gardens, enhance the story. A briskly paced romance featuring breathless suspense.” – Kirkus Reviews
