A young journalist embroiled in an international art scandal centred around a Nazi-looted masterpiece, forcing the ultimate showdown between passion and possession, lovers and liars, history and truth.

After talking her way into a job in Chicago, young journalist Jules Roth is given an unusual assignment: locate a painting stolen by the Nazis more than 75 years ago. The painting? None other than legendary artist Ernst Engel s most famous work, Woman on Fire. A dying designer covets the portrait for deeply personal reasons. Jules doesn t have much time.

Meanwhile, in Europe, Margaux de Laurent – powerful heir to her family s millions – also searches for the painting. A cunning gallerist who gets everything she wants, the only thing standing in her way is Jules. Yet Jules has resources of her own, including the designer s grandson, Adam. A recovering addict and artist in his own right, Adam was once in Margaux s clutches, and he ll do anything to help Jules locate the painting first.

Woman on Fire is a thrilling tale of secrets, love, sacrifice and an exquisite work of art that burns bright, moving through hands, hearts and history.
