She is a smart, talented art conservator whose nose for trouble and passion for history lead her to uncover a secret within a centuries-old painting. After an attempted burglary at the museum where she works, her brave, stubborn nature causes her to clash with the police detective - the hero. Willing to fight a vicious criminal, the heroine is as brave as she is smart.
