Pero de repente llega a sus manos una carta escrita durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial que los pone sobre la pista del misterioso cuadro atribuido a Giorgione, el enigmático pintor del Renacimiento.

Pero esta decisión solo parece complicarle las cosas. París, durante la ocupación alemana: el comandante de las SS, Georg von Bergheim, militar de élite y héroe de guerra, acaba de recibir una orden: debe encontrar el paradero de un cuadro de Giorgione conocido como El Astrólogo. Hitler está convencido de que la obra esconde un gran enigma, una revelación que ha pasado de mano en mano durante siglos. La búsqueda conduce al comandante hasta la joven judía Sarah Bauer, iniciándose entre ellos una persecución trepidante que tendrá consecuencias totalmente inesperadas para ambos. ______________________________ El medallón de fuego Madrid, en la actualidad: Ana recibe la llamada de Martin, el joven y misterioso buscador de tesoros a quien conoció fugazmente durante la búsqueda de El Astrólogo en La Tabla Esmeralda.

Painted Passion
by Latisha BrandonEnjoying the last day of merriment in LOVE Park, Kevin Zahir Dunmore sees a woman across the courtyard, and knows instantly he has to capture her image. He doesn’t miss a step, sketching page after page of her silhouette. He ponders, if only he were close enough to see the shade of her eyes. Never one to let a moment pass he approaches her, swagger peppering his steps. Little does he know…his life will never be the same. The sensation is of butterfly wings skimming down her neck and across her exposed shoulders. Ashlyn Farrell feels open, and she shockingly relishes the imaged touch. She’s forever in control, and as her life as a photojournalist depends on that control. However, on that day, she lowers her professional camera and basks in it. She wants to roll her head back toward her shoulders and raise her arms to the sun. Kevin and Ashlyn are vastly different, him from the Southside of Philadelphia, she a child of privilege, reeled in the gated communities of suburban Chicago. He’s a self made, younger man, who’s charming, confident, and at times slightly arrogant. She’s worldly, brilliant, and a tad bit reserved. As their lives become more intertwined, traveling from the cool surf of the Atlantic, to the heated hills of S„o Paulo, their passion ignites, but is their love strong enough to face the skepticism of her family, or his male ego?
