Lila Emerson was raised a military brat, so a lifestyle of
traveling light and having no permanent home is second
nature to her. Her best friend Julie allows Lila to use
her residence as a mailing address and a place to store a
few extras.
Ashton Archer comes from a wealthy family, but needs a
spread sheet to keep it all straight. His father has been
married and divorced several times giving Ashton numerous
half-siblings who look to him as the stable family member.
Lila and Ashton meet after Lila witnesses the murder of
one of Ash's half-brothers, Oliver, and his girlfriend, Sage
Kendall. When they meet outside of the police station they
don't expect to find themselves wrapped up in a murder
mystery, and a story that goes back to the Romanovs and
whether or not Anastasia survived.
More than this would be telling you the story and I can't
do that. Suffice it to say that Nora Roberts uses her
writing skills to not only keep you on the edge of your seat
with nail-biting suspense, but also have you longing for a
leisurely stroll through the streets of Florence and a
cupcake or two.
When you decide to sit down to read THE COLLECTOR by Nora
Roberts you'll want to be sure you've got a fully charged e-
reader (if that's your format choice), an appropriate snack,
large drink, and a comfortable reading spot, because once
you start The COLLECTOR you won't want to stop until you're
finished.
From #1 New York Times-bestselling author
Nora Roberts comes a novel of a woman who needs nothing, a
man who sees everything, and the web of deceit, greed, and
danger that brings them together—and could tear them apart .
. .
When professional house-sitter Lila Emerson witnesses a
murder/suicide from her current apartment-sitting job, life
as she knows it takes a dramatic turn. Suddenly, the woman
with no permanent ties finds herself almost wishing for one.
. . .
Artist Ashton Archer knows his brother isn’t capable of
violence—against himself or others. He recruits Lila, the
only eyewitness, to help him uncover what happened. Ash
longs to paint her as intensely as he hungers to touch her.
But their investigation draws them into a rarified circle
where priceless antiques are bought, sold, gambled away, and
stolen, where what you possess is who you are, and where
what you desire becomes a deadly obsession. . . .
