The Forger's Vow: A Dark Romance of Art, Deception & Desire - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The painting on Nora Pemberton's worktable has been lying for twenty-eight years — and her own trained eye is the only thing in the room that can hear it. Twelve years authenticating art for a living taught her to trust brushstrokes over people. It's about to teach her something worse: the forger's hand hidden under the canvas belongs to her father.

Dante Renzi didn't create the crime his family is asking her to bury. He just inherited it — along with a dying father, a fortune built on a fraud that predates him, and an aunt who believes the only way to keep it contained is to make Nora family. His proposal is a transaction, stated in exactly those terms: marry him, invoke spousal privilege, buy herself time before a tax investigator's inquiry destroys the practice she rebuilt from nothing. She says yes to protect what's left of her father's name. She has no intention of staying for any reason that isn't on the contract.

Villa Renzi, on the shore of Lake Como, was built for people who've never had to hide anything real. Nora moves in anyway — and finds, hidden in an antique desk, the letter her father left for whoever was careful enough to find it. What he did in 1998 wasn't greed. It was thirty years of quiet, anonymous restitution for a debt he never chose to owe. And the man she married under duress is the last person she expects to help her prove it — until the same family that coerced her into this marriage asks her to become exactly what she's spent her whole career refusing to be.

A forced-marriage dark romance about the lies that protect us, the truths that finally set us free, and the one vow that was never written down.
