Adora’s carefully curated life is humming along brilliantly until a chance meeting with a handsome stranger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoon, her ordered world is upended by black-market art deals, secret rendezvous, and international intrigue . . . and her past—which she has worked so hard to bury—lands like a bomb in her present. Inflamed by unquenchable desire, Adora finds herself a woman wanting more: and she’ll risk everything to get it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdora Hazzard’s journey of self-discovery will grip you from the start.
