Venetian Sunrise — Kate Nevins

Antiques dealer Rita Stewart steps into Venice ... and enters a dream. Enchantment claims her with shimmering sunlight, gilded palaces, warm- hearted people--and vibrantly handsome, endearingly roguish American painter, Frank Giordano, who eagerly offers kisses, companionship ... and his bed!

Rita is swept away. Never has life seemed so promising, so magical, so sensual. But evidence mounts that Frank is a silent--and perhaps sinister--partner of the eccentric countess whose art treasures Rita hopes to buy. Has passion blinded her to his true nature? Is their love a splendid reality ... or a grand illusion, as ephemeral as a dream?
