EXCERPT
Set-up: When Kara arrived to open the museum, she found it unlocked–now the Chicago Arts Council is sending an investigator…
Sasha met Kara’s gaze. “I’ve never liked outsiders prying into my business.”
“I understand.” Kara considered her curator afresh. She’d hired Sasha herself three years earlier, after she’d been promoted from that job to director. Sasha was already highly regarded across the Midwest region for her artistic judgment and presentation skills. That she preferred women to men in her private life had no bearing on her value to the museum. Yet Kara had seen this skittishness from Sasha before. She desperately wanted to keep her private life private. They both knew if an investigator considered either one of them as a potential suspect, their private lives would be open to severe scrutiny.

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?

Interesting snippet! 😀
Great revealing snippet, Adriana. I like her for her integrity and support of her staff . . . and I LOVE a mystery!
Great snippet!
I can certainly understand wanting to keep one’s private life private, but as a reader, my antenae are up and quivering. Does either one of them have something in particular they want to hide?
Sounds like they’re in a rather tricky situation. It’ll be interesting to find out how they resolve it.
In an investigation, lives become open books. She’s quite realistic about that. I’m curious about what will happen next.
