Synopsis
VENETIAN INTERLUDE Abandoned by her brazen and beautiful older sister in a Venice smoldering with treachery and betrayal, young respectable Mary Porteous found herself destitute and alone. She'd all but given up hope of surviving on her artistic talents, when a mysterious letter arrived, informing her that she had been highly recommended to the grand Palazzo Murano. Baffled but heartened, Mary arrived at the Palazzo and was instantly ensconced in the household. Only then did she discover her unknown benefactor to be none other than Todaro del Doria, a nobleman whose amorous adventures were infamous but whose quiet personal affairs were too dangerous to reveal, a man she didn't know - but with whom she'd soon share an intrigue of the heart that could cost them both their lives...
