Picking up where we left off last week with The Heist, romantic suspense.
EXCERPT
Set Up: Kara and Sasha are still puzzling over finding the museum unlocked…
Kara chuckled. “No, I do believe the soda cans were carried in. Maybe someone wanted us to know just how vulnerable this place is.” She scowled. “But who, and why? I thought we were supposed to have a fairly sophisticated computer system.”
“Not sophisticated enough,” Sasha huffed. “Maybe it was some computer geeks at the college trying to show off.”
“Maybe. I hope Ted Springs will be able to shed some light on those questions. Doesn’t look like the cops are going to do much. No theft, no damage. They have more significant crimes to deal with.” Kara checked her watch. “It’s been a long day. Why don’t you head out when you’re ready? I’ll walk around through the place with David while we close up. Thank god it’s a Monday and we didn’t have to be open to the public. I’ll check with you in the morning after I get back from the airport with Springs.”
Sasha smirked. “At least I don’t have to be his chauffer-slash-babysitter. See you.”
BLURB
A Heist? A Murder? It’s villain’s choice.
A special-order art theft? Tedious, but seamless – until small town museum director Kara Daniels calls in the experts. Furious her favorite trio of priceless impressionist paintings has been stolen from its traveling exhibit on her watch, Kara is determined to save not only the paintings, but her future in the art world. She’ll stop at nothing to entrap the thief.
Ted Springs knows the underbelly of the criminal world a little closer than he might like—but he’s turned it to good advantage, first as a police officer, and now as detective for the Upper Midwest Arts Council. His job? To guarantee the security of the valuable paintings in the Council’s traveling exhibits.
Heat sizzles when Ted and Kara collide—can they work together, before it’s too late?

questions indeed. I hope they can figure it out 😉
Thanks, Iris – the answer would be a spoiler, but they’ll have a lot more to solve than a break-in where nothing was stolen 🙂
