Publisher Comments:

Nell MacInnes can spot a forgery from a mile away. After all, she learned from the best—her father is one of the art worlds most notorious thieves. His brutal beating by the very authorities who claim to keep the world safe from harm taught her one more valuable lesson—trust no one.

The last thing rugged Navy SEAL Dakota Smith needs on his mission is a tempting woman he doesnt trust. But a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci has gone missing, and the art conservators skill in detecting forgery would be invaluable, if only 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 track down a ruthless criminal with terrorist ties before time runs out—and the da Vinci is lost forever.

Synopsis:

The daughter of a notorious art thief, Nell MacInnes can spot a forgery a mile away. After a da Vinci sketch goes missing, Navy SEAL Dakota Smith needs Nell's skill in detecting forgery. Original.

I've been a fan of Christina Skye's 'Draycott Abbey' series since the late 90s and I was so excited to see her publish a new novel related to this series. I was even more excited when I realized this novel connects her 'Operation' series to the 'Draycott Abbey' series! It's like a double reunion with some old friends.

Nell is a respected art restorer and authenticator. She learned her craft from her father, a notorious art thief. But just before he went to prison, he swore to her that he was done with that life. But recently a newly discovered masterpiece was stolen using her father's MO. And suddenly Nell is dodging bullets, kidnappers, and the FBI and her saviour from them all is a hot, hard-bodied, and intense SEAL. Can she afford to forget her motto: Trust no one, lean on no one.

Dakota isn't an ordinary SEAL. He's been surgically enhanced. Just as well as the 'mission' is his life. No feelings, just mission; no ties, just mission. Until he's assigned to follow a woman suspected of colluding on the theft of some priceless art...and nothing is adding up for him. Nothing except the different ways she's getting to him.

This book will definitely appeal to fans of both series. It has the romance of her Draycott novels with the action of her Operation SEAL heroes! I hope Adrian, the ghost, gets a little more ink in the next book as he's such a fascinating character. You can visit the abbey's world at www.draycottabbey.com and she's promises more stories to come at the end of this book although there's no titles or dates announced as yet!
