Description
When Emma flees London with her life in ruins-her engagement shattered, her gallery career destroyed by embezzlement-she clutches only a mysterious letter from her grandmother hinting at a treasure hidden in Montmartre. Boarding the last train to Paris, she seeks refuge from betrayal and loss, but the storm raging outside mirrors the chaos within her fractured world.Stranded in Amiens during a fierce winter tempest, Emma encounters Liam, a travel writer with secrets of his own. As suspicious glances turn to growing attraction, both harbour dangerous truths. Emma's detailed sketches of the train's layout raise Liam's suspicions, whilst his hushed phone conversations about mysterious "packages" and deadlines chill her to the bone. Neither is who they claim to be.The storm is only the beginning. Emma's past as an insurance investigator specialising in art fraud resurfaces as she uncovers evidence of a vast forgery ring-stolen wartime art traded under the guise of legitimate sales. Liam's cover as a travel writer masks his covert role with Interpol, investigating the same criminal network. Their delayed train, suspicious passengers, and helpful conductor are all part of an orchestrated trap.In the labyrinthine streets of Montmartre, Emma discovers that her grandmother's apartment is more than a refuge-it's a fortress built by Resistance members, filled with secret passages and hidden chambers. But the ultimate betrayal awaits: her grandmother Margot, whom she believed dead, is alive and the mastermind behind the entire operation.A masterful blend of historical mystery, romantic suspense, and art crime thriller that will keep you guessing until the final revelation.
