How could Samantha Landsborough know when she attends a New York auction that her world is about to be turned upside down by a 100-year-old painting, a 32-year-old ex-CIA hunk---and a ghost? Samantha doesn't believe in getting emotionally involved with any piece of art. But this one is different. Is it ever! Meanwhile, all publisher Lance Kingsford has set out to do is find a painting he can use for the cover of a new book. Suddenly, he finds himself in the bidding fight of his life over a painting of a beautiful woman with an unforgettable face. The piece is perfect for his project, but more than that, it stirs his soul.
