Nora Roberts
After an assault at her family home in Maine, Dr. Miranda
Jones is determined to put the experience behind her.
Distraction comes when she is summoned to Italy—to
verify the authenticity of a Renaissance bronze of a Medici
courtesan known as The Dark Lady. But instead of
cementing Miranda's reputation as the leading expert in the
field, the job nearly destroys it when her professional
judgment is called into question. Emotionally estranged
from her mother, and with a brother immersed in his own
troubles, Miranda has no one to turn to...except Ryan
Boldarai, a seductive art thief whose own agenda forces them
into a reluctant alliance.
Now it comes clear that the incident in Maine was not a
simple mugging—and that The Dark Lady may
possess as many secrets as its beutiful namesake once did.
For Miranda, forced to rely on herself—and a partner
who offers her both unnerving suspicion and intoxicating
passion—the only way home is filled with deception,
treachery, and a danger than threatens them all.
