Nell MacInness' true passion is climbing mountains and
living dangerously, but her profession is in the art world
restoring masterpieces and discovering forgeries, which is
definitely a slower pace. After returning home from a
climbing trip where she risks her life saving students
stranded on the side of a mountain with another climber,
she's attacked by men in suits and forced to run. She's
instantly curious about her father's involvement and the
government's interest in gaining information from her.
Dakota Smith's mission is clear; follow Nell MacInness at a
distance while waiting for her to communicate with father.
Chivalry is not part of the job, but Dakota can't allow
Nell to travel in a storm alone to save stranded students,
so he offers his help. He quickly realizes she's a very
capable woman, not only climbing mountains, but she keeps
her cool in high-stress situations. At least, he hopes this
is the case when he mysteriously appears to assist her when
she's attacked by the men in suits.
Christina Skye weaves an exciting, action-packed
romance that once again connects another puzzle piece to
the Draycott Abbey mystery. A fabulous read!
Nell MacInnes can spot a forgery a mile away. She learned
from the best--her father, one of the art world's most
notorious thieves. His brutal beating by the very
authorities who claim to keep the world safe taught Nell
one more valuable lesson--trust no one.
The last thing rugged Navy SEAL Dakota Smith needs on his
mission is a tempting woman he doesn't trust. But a sketch
by Leonardo da Vinci has gone missing, and Nell's skill in
detecting forgeries will be invaluable, assuming her ties
to the criminal world are as dead as she says they are.
Soon an edgy partnership and white-hot attraction are
forged between Nell and Dakota as they race to Draycott
Abbey to confront a ruthless criminal with terrorist ties.
From there the chase will lead them to a Scottish castle in
the rugged Hebrides. With timing running out--and the da
Vinci in danger of being lost forever-- two stubborn people
must learn to trust their hearts to claim their deepest
dreams.
