Mason Caldwell is not who she claims to be. For one thing, she is alive and well. As a masquerade her life is a masterpiece. And only Richard Garrett has the power to expose the truth . . . The Art Of Seduction Frustrated by the world's indifference to her haunting, sensual paintings, Mason Caldwell boldly fakes her own death. The results are as brilliant as the colors imbuing her art. Now disguised as her surviving "sister" Amy, Mason enjoys the fruits of her deception-fame, wealth, and entry into the glittering halls of haute Paris. It's a perfect deceit until art expert Richard Garrett enters the picture. For something about the Mason Caldwell myth doesn't sit right with him, and he intends to uncover the truth . . . if a shadowy past or his own heart doesn't betray him. But a woman of Mason's talents isn't easily undone, and a dangerous game of truths and lies can reveal hidden desires, igniting a passion beyond their control . . . Affaire de Coeur calls award-winning author Katherine O'Neal "the Queen of Romantic Adventure" But her best romantic adventures are shared with her long-time husband, noted film critic William Arnold, who travels with her to all the exotic and glamorous locations where she sets her books. Katherine believes in the sexual empowerment of women and has as much fun researching her books as she does writing them.

Katherine lives in Seattle with her husband, the author and film critic William Arnold, and their four guinea pigs—all of whom have had one of her books dedicated to them. Foreign language editions of Katherine O'Neal's books are available in more than a dozen countries. Her 2008 novel, Just for Her, will be published this year as a Japanese Manga comic.
