Petra Galatas sees the world through rose-colored glasses…
Petra has always chosen to see the best in people. Even her
ex-husband’s extramarital affairs couldn’t destroy her faith in
humanity. However, as much as she craves love, she’s not ready to trust
another man with her heart.
The last place Petra thought she’d meet a guy was a closet in her ex-husband’s house…
While investigating Jonas Linden for millions of dollars in art
fraud, Sam Corra’s clues lead him into the most unlikely of
places—Jonas’ closet. Even less likely was meeting a woman there…a
beautiful woman with honey skin and big brown eyes. Though neither of
them divulge the reason they’re there, there’s an instant mutual
attraction. And when Sam pursues her, he discovers the beautiful woman
is none other than Jonas Linden’s ex-wife.
He’s on a mission to prove Jonas’ guilt. She’s determined to prove his innocence…
Unwilling to believe she’d been stupid enough to marry a criminal,
Petra attempts an investigation of her own, and unwittingly puts
herself—and Sam—in danger. First comes an “accident” that lands Petra in
the hospital. Second is a kidnapping that puts Sam’s life in grave
danger.
When they both become pawns in a deadly game, money, art, and love are all at stake.
