Cleopatra Robbins has imagined the moment when she'll meet the man of her dreams. When Max Fortune strides into her life, she knows it's him--even though he's all wrong. Max is looking for five priceless paintings bequeathed to him by his mentor; when he takes one look at Cleo, however, he nearly forgets his mission. Soon the duo are swept up in suspense and desire.

I'm sure part of why this ended up in a local lending library is that it's set on the Washington coast (where I live). I like a romance-suspense blend in theory, but this was fairly flat. One half of the mystery is fairly mysterious until the end, but the other half was obvious within the first few chapters, and the primary male character is so unrelentingly bossy that I'm not sure why his female counterpoint didn't smack him, let alone get serious with him within...a week of meeting? Now I'm just being peevish. It's fine. It was fine.
