A priceless relic--an iron chain that was used to bind St. Peter while in a Roman prison--is missing from her wealthy client Marcello Piccoletti's home, and a murder was committed on the heels of the disappearance. The only person who can clear Cat's name is the client himself, and he's in Rome, tending to his restaurant, Da Vinci's.

Angie takes a job as a cook at Da Vinci's, hoping to get to the bottom of this complex mess. And when bodies start piling up like balls of fresh mozzarella at an Amalfi family picnic, it looks like Angie and Cat's trip to their homeland may spell arrivederci Amalfis. Views: 11

Love
and justice…
When Drew Foster is released from prison,
he doesn’t much care about salvaging his soiled reputation. Though he’s working
undercover, everyone in Victorian London believes him guilty of the Jack the
Ripper murders and that his brother paid for his “innocence.”
Despite her genteel upbringing, Anna Jacobs
is intent on finishing medical school and becoming a physician. Society’s
ridicule has never bothered her, but when her brother, the Yard’s best
detective, is scorned for letting Drew go, she confronts the one man who can
set the record straight at a ball. She certainly doesn’t count on the rogue
being dashing and handsome, nor on him stealing a passionate kiss.
Anna’s brazen contempt for his dangerous
reputation captivates Drew, but he is harboring secrets that make him unfit to
court any proper woman. As he finds himself an outsider among his colleagues at
Scotland Yard, the feisty beauty offers up her medical knowledge to assist him
on the case. But when the real killer returns to London to continue his reign
of terror, can Anna find safety in Drew’s arms?
