BLURB-
A heist? A murder? It’s villain’s choice.
A special-order art
theft? Tedious, but seamless – until small town museum director Kara Daniels
calls in the experts. Furious her favorite trio of priceless impressionist
paintings has been stolen from its traveling exhibit on her watch, Kara is
determined to save not only the paintings, but her future in the art world.
She’ll stop at nothing to entrap the thief.
Ted Springs knows the
underbelly of the criminal world a little closer than he might like—but he’s
turned it to good advantage, first as a police officer, and now as detective
for the Upper Midwest Arts Council. His job? To guarantee the security of the valuable
paintings in the Council’s traveling exhibits.
Heat sizzles when Ted
and Kara collide—can they work together, before it’s too late?
EXCERPT-
“I and my staff have
already done fairly thorough background checks on all the museum employees,”
Ted said.
“Oh.” Kara scowled.
“I’m not sure I like that.”
“But you expected it?”
“Of course. At some
point.”
“I believe in being
efficient. Even before certain added incentives.”
“I can always change
my mind. I don’t know a thing about you.”
“You know enough. I
have large hands.” Ted chuckled when she winced. “I’ve worked for the Upper
Midwest Arts Council for five years.”
“And before that?”
“I was a Chicago cop.”
“Oh.”
“I went into the army
right out of high school and completed my BA degree at U.I.C. while on the
force. Funny, isn’t it? While you were working on your MA at the University of
Chicago, I was patrolling the streets of Hyde Park and South Chicago.”
“Really?”
“That’s right.”
“Maybe we bumped into
each other.”
“I highly doubt that.
I wouldn’t forget bumping into you. Remember?”
“Oh, right.” Kara’s
flush returned.
