"An art expert and a thief get caught in a dangerous game in this novel of daring deception and desire ... After an assault at her family home in Maine, Dr. Miranda Jones is determined to put the experience behind her.

But instead of cementing Miranda's reputation as the leading expert in the field, the job nearly destroys it when her professional judgment is called into question.

Now it becomes clear that the incident in Maine was not a simple mugging--and that The Dark Lady may possess as many secrets as its beautiful namesake once did. For Miranda, forced to rely on herself--and a partner who offers her both unnerving suspicion and intoxicating passion--the only way home is filled with deception, treachery, and a danger that threatens them all"--

Good story!
Excellent story, one of the earlier ones--well written, good mystery--you won't know the 'bad guys' until the end!

Stolen Art-Heart
Until this book I have never read Nora Roberts, I accidently found this book while my mother was in the hospital. It was a ratty paper back that had seen many patients. I enjoyed it so much I had to add this to my own collection, And when I read it a 2nd time I knew this book will be read again and again. No women can resist Ryan Boldari, a professional thief with honor and good looks no less. Charaters are all very interesting they add to the suspense, but the connection between the ethicl Dr Miranda Jones and charming badboy Ryan Boldari just sizzles
