Take me for a ride

the long version

"Art restorer Natalie Rosen is a true romantic, inspired by the world's treasures--and nothing incites her passion more than the legendary St. George necklace, a lost family heirloom believed to originate from Catherine the Great. When against all odds the necklace turns up in her office before it goes to auction, Natalie takes drastic measures to keep it in the family ... Hard-living recovery agent Eric McDougal is no gentleman, but then, he's never advertised himself as one. He thrives on chasing women--and stolen art. Now he gets a dream assignment to do both. He thinks it'll be a cinch, but he doesn't count on his high-octane attraction to Natalie, or that she'll unwittingly lead them both into a dangerous underworld where falling in love is as much a part of the game as staying alive."--Page 4 of cover.
