At twenty-five, Princess Adrianne lives a life most people would envy. Beautiful and elegant, she spends her days dabbling in charities and her nights floating from one glamorous gala to the next. But her pampered-rich-girl pose is a ruse, a carefully calculated effort to hide a dangerous truth.
For ten years Adrianne has lived for revenge. As a child, she could only watch the cruelty hidden behind the facade of her parents' fairy-tale marriage. Now she has the perfect plan to make her famous father pay. She will take possession of the one thing he values above all others--The Sun and the Moon, a fabled necklace beyond price.
Yet just as she is poised to take her vengeance, she meets a man who seems to divine her every secret. Clever, charming, and enigmatic, Philip Chamberlain has his own private reasons for getting close to Princess Adrianne. And only when it's too late will she see the hidden danger...as she finds herself up against two formidable men--one with the knowledge to take her freedom, the other with the power to take her life.

Really great book. Good characters-better understanding of the world of Islam--but not overboard with the information. Could not put it down for very long before I picked it up again.

Fun jewel-thief romp/romance, with (as usual) strong female heroine, dashing love interest, and interesting minor characters.

This "romantic suspense" novel was a little hard to get into, but got better.

If you like Nora Roberts, you will enjoy this book. This is one of her earlier novels, but it is as well written as any of her later ones. What happens when two of the very best jewel thieves, one retired and working for Interpol, the other with one more heist to pull off, get together? Sparks fly, romance delevops and revenge is sweet!!

This was an enjoyable story. Good, strong female lead, and an unexpectedly balanced view of religion and culture.
