Ultima - L. S. Hilton

The shockingly audacious conclusion to the international bestselling phenomenon that began with Maestra.If you can't beat them - kill them
First there was Maestra. Then there was Domina. Now - there is Ultima.Glamorous international art-dealer Elizabeth Teerlinc knows a thing or two about fakes.
After all, she is one herself.Her
real identity, Judith Rashleigh, is buried under a layer of lies.
Not
to mention the corpses of the men foolish enough to get in her way.
But
now, caught in the murderous crossfire between a Russian Mafia boss and
a corrupt Italian police detective, Judith is forced to create an even
more daring work of art - a fake masterpiece she must take to the
world-famous auction house where she used to be a lowly assistant and
sell for $150 million.For Judith the prospect of putting one
over her loathsome former employer and the world's art establishment is
almost as thrilling as the extreme sex she's addicted to - especially
when the price of failure is a bullet in the back of the head.But
exposing her new identity to the glare of the spotlight puts her at
risk of an even greater danger.
Like a beautiful painting stripped of
its layers of varnish, something altogether different could be revealed.
A truth about her past even Judith might find shocking.Praise for the Maestra series'Like a ritzy 50 Shades meets The Da Vinci Code . . .
