Professional art restorer Emily Greene is in no mood to
see the devil-may-care Max Aries. She hasn’t forgotten –
or forgiven – the way Max dropped into her life a year
ago, stole her heart, then vanished without a word. Max
hadn’t kept in touch with his father, Daniel, either.
Daniel Aries had been a master of art restoration and
reproduction, and not only Emily’s longtime mentor, but a
trusted friend. His unexpected suicide devastates her. And
when the prodigal playboy Max returns, her welcome is less
than warm – even though his timely arrival in her bedroom
saves her from a lethal intruder. But her fury gives way
to fear when Max reveals that his father’s death was
actually murder... and that Emily’s life is now in danger.
Like it or not, to stay alive, Emily must put herself in
Max’s hands. And once upon a time, that wasn’t such a bad
place to be.
But what killer would target professional restorers of
Renaissance artworks? Max suspects that a pencil sketch
found in his father’s studio, inscribed with a cryptic
code, may hold the key. His hunch is confirmed when intel
from his control at the counterterrorist organization T-
FLAC reveals that the Black Rose terror cell is involved –
a chilling revelation that elevates the threat level
almost as high as the tension that’s bristling between Max
and Emily. Max isn’t about to take his eyes off Emily –
though only partly for professional reasons – and even
Emily’s rage over Max’s take-charge attitude can’t compare
to her anger at herself for so long denying the truer,
deeper feelings she has for him. As they crisscross
Europe, piecing together the shocking clues to an
insidious international plot, dodging increasingly lethal
traps, and passionately making up for too much lost time,
they realize that – in more ways than one – they can’t
live without each other. With no chance of turning back,
Max and Emily must put their lives on the line, put their
true feelings to the test... and get ready to take the
heat.
