This review is from: The Winged Lion (Paperback)

'He was a living, breathing masterpiece. Alex forfeited a long-overdue vacation in order to restore neglected paintings in a decaying castle in Venice. Her boss ad first cajoled and finally bribed Alex, speaking of a long-lost masterpiece that she might unearth if she agreed to the assignment.
Alex prepared to meet a stuffy old prince living in a run-down relic from Venice's illustrious past. But Castlenero was not a crumbling ruin. It was a breathtakingly opulent palace.
And the Prince Anton de Cassis was neither stuffy nor old. He was the most magnificent masterpiece she'd ever seen!'
Alex's boss Wilbert Carvel had told Anton he would do the work, then he sent Alex instead, it seems the Prince was never told of the change.
So when Alexandra Lacy turned out to be a woman, a beautiful red head, with blue eyes.
Anton's current female interest (Marina Bergatrice) took exception to Alex
not only trying to ruin a priceless masterpiece painting, but going so far as to burn down the house.
Marina failed to get rid of Alex, but she did drive Anton into Alex's arms.
