Cold, hard facts make a case, but there’s nothing cold or hard about FBI Agent Vince Gage’s prime suspect, Sophie Pascotto. Despite incriminating evidence and that his job is at risk. Gage can’t convince himself Sophie is guilty. He struggles to balance the facts, but there’s one fact he can’t ignore–he’s falling in love with Sophie.
Someone has set up Sophie and her brother to take the fall for art forgery and drug smuggling. When Gage discovers Sophie has received death threats, he convinces her they need to work together. Sophie soon realizes beneath his tough cop exterior lurks a kind man. This Gage is much more dangerous because he engages her heart. With her family under suspicion for forgery, the last person she should become involved with is a by-the-book FBI agent.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The Art of Deception is Book two of the Stolen Hearts series, but is also a stand alone book. After I finished the first book, Sleight of Hand, I was so intrigued with the character, Vince Gage, that I had to write his story.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Some of the characters were from the first book, and that was the first time I’d ever had recurring characters. It was fun, like hanging out with old friends! Many of my characters are bits and pieces of people I’ve met over the years. But only in small ways. Characetrs always fascinate me because they take on a life of their own after about the third chapter.
