The glass madonna

the long version

For Miranda, the chance to study with Maestro dei Santi in Venice was the chance of a lifetime. To work for one of the best glass-makers anywhere, in the most romantic city in the world, was far beyond her hopes—there had to be a catch in it! The catch was that Benvenuto dei Santi's workers presented a woman's intrusion into their all-male citadel . . . and that the Maestro was a breathtakingly attractive man whose skills included the ability to make Miranda fall in love with him, when all he cared about was her co-operation in creating the Glass Madonna . . .
