The Art of a False Honeymoon

By Grace Bellamere

Provenance specialist Nora Verran has spent her career proving that beautiful stories can hide ugly truths. Then a wedding photograph reveals the painting that destroyed her mother's name, newly attributed to the famous man who claimed it-and hours from disappearing into a private sale.

The only invitation that can get Nora close enough still lists her ex-husband as her spouse.

Former FBI art-crime agent Elliot Keene knows how to read a guarded room, follow a false trail, and protect a source. He also knows his marriage to Nora did not end because they stopped loving each other. It ended because he kept deciding which truths she could survive.

Posing as reconciled honeymooners gives them one villa, four days, and a final chance to recover the painting before a buyer's yacht leaves the island. But as old desire returns and the evidence closes around a powerful foundation, Nora and Elliot discover they have each brought one last secret into the room.

To save her mother's legacy without repeating the choices that ruined their marriage, they must risk the one thing neither of them knows how to control: what the other will choose after hearing the whole truth.
