* * * * *
When Michelina "Mikey" Amato, a struggling art historian, catches the eye of an alluring art collector at auction, sparks instantly ignite between the two women. But Mikey learns the collector is none other than Domenica Fiori, a woman with no maximum bid whose name is synonymous with scandal. Hoping to restore her reputation, Domenica offers to hire Mikey to authenticate a painting in her collection. Mikey sees it as an opportunity to make a name for herself and accepts despite all the whispers of forgery.
Working closely alongside Domenica in her secluded Sicilian villa, Mikey starts to see beyond the collector's tarnished and guarded past. But inconsistencies with the painting---and Domenica---create more questions than answers. As Mikey's suspicions begin to grow, so do her feelings for Domenica, threatening to cloud her integrity.
When the forgery rumors start to look true, Mikey must decide whether to expose the painting's truth or risk losing everything for the woman who may be deceiving her.
