I would best describe ths novel as a romantic thriller/mystery. Probably more of a thriller as it has more of an international flavour. Set in the art world it is filled with spies and political intrigue.Kay McCann is an artist, a Master Artist. She has been involved with two very different men, Peter Lawson a world renowned painter and Jason Allen a gallery owner and expert in art forgeries. Each man has their own agenda where Kay is concerned, each man is manipulative and coldly calculating. Kay unwittingly becomes a pawn between the two men.I enjoyed the premise for this novel. I couldn't quite decide who Kay would ultimely end up with. Kay was a well written character, open, generous and forgiving. IMO too forgiving at times. I did have some qualms for Kay, as she was quite blinded and naive with both Peter and Jason. For a Master Artist who was able to convey so much emotion through her art I expected her to be more "worldly" or aware of what was happening around her,  the repercussions of her actions.I did enjoy this but I do agree with another reviewer that the pace did lag a bit in the middle and it wasn't all tied up as neatly at the end as I would have liked. Well worth a read, an interesting story. A few typos here and there but nothing to quibble about.
