After the tragic loss her lover two years earlier, Christa Maitland believes she's finally reached a reasonable stage of coping with life. She's built a new way of living, is happy, and looks forward to each day. That is, until Kendall Dragonwood walks into her Rhode Island gift shop. In one brief moment, Kendall turns Christa's life upside down when he challenges her to join him in his search for a lost family heirloom. The very same one he claims her boyfriend, Eric Hollander, stole from him. To add to the challenge, he has the audacity to accuse Christa of knowing its whereabouts. The jaw-dropping news that Eric may still be among the living, causes Christa to enter a perilous, yet daring adventure, while wondering if she's been foolish to believe a complete stranger. A handsome, Celtic, and dangerous stranger, at that. Can she trust him? She soon finds out as she heads out on her own to find the treasure belonging to the Dragonwood family.

Having been a decorative painter and illustrator for many years, Jeanne Paglio ventured into the realm of Zentangle® art where she applied her knowledge of decorative painting to this recent art form. After becoming certified in tangling, and the theory behind it, Jeanne's appreciation grew into a line of Zentangle workbooks geared to all artist levels and for people of all ages. As with all forms of art, this one has many health benefits, both mental and physical, one of which is stress relief. With several tangling books published, Jeanne continues to teach Zentangle and decorative painting. Jeanne resides in rural Rhode Island.
