From Library Journal
Krentz's latest fast-paced, sexy, romantic mystery centers on elegant, educated art-glass expert Eugenia Swift and rugged, no-nonsense security agent Cyrus Chandler Colfax. They are set down in a secluded artists' colony on a small Puget Sound island to inventory a noted glass collection and to check into the death of its owner. The sparks between the reluctant partners are immediate and antagonistic; but when a calculating killer leaves a body in the wine cellar, they reassess their relationship?with dangerous and passionate results. Treachery, greed, and the quest for a priceless glass bowl drive the plot of this fast-paced romance that will appeal to the writer's many fans. Krentz (Deep Waters, Pocket, 1997) is a veteran writer of lively romances filled with strong protagonists and witty dialog; she lives in the Seattle area.
