Jonas went to hunt for missing Renaissance jewels. Verity went along to snare a husband. Jonas Quarrel was lean, sexy, and equally capable of quoting Renaissance poetry or wielding a dagger. Sure enough, her adventuring lover was soon off to an Italian villa rebuilt on a Pacific Northwest island. Before long he would be looking for new excitement, leaving Verity behind to run her gourmet restaurant in a California resort, hold on to misty colored memories, and wonder what she was going to do if she were pregnant with his child. A big, soft, four-poster bed might be the ideal place to try out her lures!
