Pete Barnes a
successful art thief with a knack for forging masterpieces gives up the life of
crime to paint his own masterpieces. Settling in Switzerland, Pete falls
in love with the beautiful Carly Sims, who eerily reminds him of his first love
Jenny who died unexpectedly of meningitis.
Pete is
thrust back into the world of crime when Carly is kidnapped. To get Carly
back, Pete must steal the Remsky Portrait, a hi-tech work of art, from the
Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The planned exchange of Carly
for the portrait goes awry when the Russian Mafia interferes, and Pete and
Carly find themselves on the run from the kidnappers and the Russians.
The stakes
elevate considerably when an unknown entity marks Pete and Carly for
assassination. Surviving several close encounters while chased across two
continents, Pete discovers that Carly is not who he thought she was, that love
is not easy and that the Remsky Portrait is anything but a work of art.

LUCKY'S CHARM by Jenn Nixon
To protect her family and find a killer, Felicia
“Lucky” Fascino assumed her adoptive father’s identity and joined the network,
of moral assassins, to finish the job he began. Eliminating the man responsible
for murdering her mother has consumed her for the last five years. Completing
the job is the only way Lucky and her family can return to a safe and normal
life. Lucky’s uncle, Stephen Chambers, hasn’t come close to tracking the
killer. He announces he’s stepping down as her handler to concentrate on the
investigation and names Elizabeth, his daughter, as successor.
Keeping secrets is a family trait, and
Elizabeth’s addition to the business tests Lucky’s ability to maintain the
pretense that the job doesn’t affect her despite the fact that all network hits
are hardened criminals. While keeping her family at arm’s length, Lucky begins
to feel the weight of her career choice and reclusive lifestyle. Then a chance
encounter with an enigmatic hit man during one of her jobs turns into a
provocative and dangerous affair. Distracted by the secret trysts with Kenji
Zinn and mounting tension within her family, Lucky starts to make mistakes that
threaten her livelihood and almost claim her life. When her family is targeted,
Lucky must make several rash decisions she believes can save them and preserve
her own sanity.
