FRESCO NIGHTS is a lively, sensual, tightly-plotted novel of romantic suspense. Museum illustrator Lucy Racine, living quietly in Toronto, finds the charismatic billionaire archeologist Luke Trevanian impossible to resist when he invites her to be part of his team on an expedition to unearth Italian antiquities. Lucy joins Luke on his yacht, and in his bed, but by the time they reach Italy's idyllic Amalfi coast Lucy is disturbingly attracted to Luke's French bodyguard, Norman Depardieu, and even more disturbingly enmeshed with the international crime syndicate behind the theft of a priceless work of art, the Black Madonna, and with the undercover Interpol agent on board. The high stakes of tracking the treasure, and the deep secrets of Luke and Norman, culminate in two murders, and as Lucy becomes both hunter and hunted, she is the one person who can unearth the criminals - if they don't kill her first.
