Downloading Curator's Choice

Forty million dollars. One synthetic fiber. A life built on perfection is about to crumble.

Elena Vargas, the meticulous Head Curator of the Sterling Museum of Art, lives for order and history, but when she discovers a microscopic inconsistency in the museum’s centerpiece - a masterpiece by a Dutch Master - her world shatters. The painting is a forgery, and the trail of breadcrumbs leads directly to the museum’s own board of directors. Reporting it means professional suicide. Ignoring it makes her an accomplice.

Enter Julia Thorne.

A private investigator with a leather jacket, a sharp wit, and a discarded police badge. Julia lives in the spaces between the law and the truth. She’s everything Elena is not: impulsive, gritty, and dangerously observant.

When Elena hires Julia to find the original painting, she expects a professional partnership. She doesn't expect the electric friction that sparks every time they are forced into close quarters. From rain slicked stakeouts to high stakes galas, the two women must navigate a web of corruption that threatens their lives and their hearts.

As the danger intensifies so does the heat. Elena soon learns that while art can be faked, the raw protective passion she feels for Julia is the most authentic thing she has ever known.
