The Parisian Affair
Judith Gould

When you trap an innocent woman in the world of international intrigue, high-stakes glamour, and dangerous romance you get New York Times bestselling author Judith Gould at her delicious best…

Manhattan jewelry designer Allegra Sheridan has been afforded a fabulous opportunity: fly to a Paris auction at the behest of a publicity-shy millionaire and bid on the celebrated Princess Karima emerald—a one-of-kind gift for the tycoon’s mistress. Allegra’s mission is a success, but possession of the extraordinary gem soon invites threats from a lethally handsome stranger. For embedded in the most sought-after gem in the world is a legendary mystery, a scandalous past, and an international conspiracy that means death to anyone who discovers its dazzling secrets.
