In desperate need of money to flee an angry 'business partner,' con artist Sabrina Raven lifts the wallet of some nutty rich guy she meets in an airport bar. But she's intrigued by the tale the good-looking man spins of a magical painting he's searching for, a painting stolen from his Italian village during World War II. Her instincts insist there's a game here, instincts validated when she discovers Mr. Rich-Guy Poet-Face Vincenzo Nicholazzi had actually wanted her to steal his wallet. He'd wanted proof he'd found a thief. In fact, he's willing to pay a whopping hundred grand if she can steal the magic painting back for him.

Sabrina thinks she's found the easiest mark in the world...until Vincenzo, honest, gentle, and warm-hearted, starts working his own brand of magic on her.
