The Forger — Michele Hauf

When Interpol's covert behind-the-scenes Elite Crimes Unit looks for new talent, they recruit someone who knows all the tricks -- and sometimes a troublemaker is exactly who's needed for the job…

Olivia Lawson's bosses at Scotland Yard don't take her work very seriously. Art and antiquities? Bor-ing! But her latest investigation, at London's world-renowned Tate, is turning out to be far more explosive than anyone expected. In fact, the vandalized, booby-trapped painting hanging on the gallery wall would have blown her off her feet if it wasn't for the tall, dark-haired stranger who tackled her at the last second -- a stranger as finely sculpted as any masterpiece in the museum.

Ethan Maxwell is working this case for the Elite Crimes Unit because it was a choice between that and lockup. A (barely) reformed art forger, he's got the expertise to lead Olivia through a dangerous manhunt. But the crime may have a more personal connection to him -- and the all-too-real feelings he's developing toward Olivia could pull her into the line of fire too . . .
