Until she meets Bennett James. He&#8217;s perfect in every way. Is he too good to be true? Granted, she doesn&#8217;t know much about his business or personal life in Shanghai, but isn&#8217;t it time to stop being so jaded about romance? And then her long-lost cousin Lily Song sends her an urgent message about Preshy&#8217;s new love. &#8220;Meet me in Venice&#8221; are Lily&#8217;s cryptic words.ONE MAN MIGHT POSSIBLY END IT&#8230;Lily lives in Shanghai and knows the antiques underworld there&#8211;and she has a secret important enough to draw her to Venice to meet Preshy for the first time, face-to-face. Ruggedly handsome, world-weary writer Sam Knight senses there&#8217;s a story afoot. Precious senses he&#8217;s getting closer and closer to her and enmeshed in this tangled web of danger and desire. But is Sam also not all he seems to be? Does he have a terrible secret he&#8217;s keeping from Preshy? In Venice, Precious will have to weave through a maze of betrayers and seducers to discover who she can trust with her heart&#8230;and with her life.
