Stolen Promise

by Christine Flynn

UNDER LOCK AND KEY

Stolen paintings? Brittany Elizabeth Chandler, respected art historian being charged with art theft.

Yes she was house-sitting for the Barneses while they were in Europe, and no she didn't know the paintings they'd sent back were stolen!

Over and over Britt told her story to the bemused, silver-eyed Creed McAllister. And now she'd been put in his custody as they waited together at the Barneses' for the next shipment.

She wasn't behind bars . . . but she was just as surely a prisoner of this supremely male detective.

About the author

Award-winning author Christine Flynn was once told by a creative writing professor that she would save herself a lot of grief if she would limit her love of books to reading rather than attempting to write. Taking his words to heart, she dropped his class and wrote very little until fifteen years later when her husband gave her a Silhouette Romance which he'd received free with the gift-wrap of her mother's day present. She doesn't remember what he bought her (neither does her husband), but she remembers the book. As a person who had always found relationships fascinating, especially the often-complicated relationships between men and women, the writing she had always wanted to do had finally found its focus. Now considered "one of the genre's master storytellers" by Romantic Times Magazine, her work regularly appears on national best-seller lists, including USA Today and Waldenbooks.
