About this ebook

Melora Rayne was surprised and more than a little mystified, when in the mid-1980s she inherited a defunct art gallery from her ‘honorary’ Uncle Bart. A man with a well documented flair for failure, it was something of a miracle that Bart had actually owned anything free and clear to will to her. Adding to her confusion was the fact of a partner she’d inherited along with the gallery.

Businessman Cameron Lowell was no happier than Melora to be on the receiving end of the odd bequest, but despite their differing personal philosophies and a somewhat rocky beginning, he meant to give the terms of Barton Chandler’s peculiar will a fair chance to succeed.
The development of an unwelcome attraction which neither partner had anticipated was further complicated by Melora’s discovery of a mysterious art treasure and her subsequent attempts to convince Cam that a would-be thief was after it.

As the date for the gallery’s grand re-opening drew near it was anybody’s guess whether a lasting partnership could be forged by the bequest of a well-meaning, but hapless entrepreneur.

Sally I. Svee Biography I grew up in a family where the written word was highly revered. As avid readers themselves, our parents read to my sister, brother and me until we could read for ourselves. And since both parents loved poetry, we were treated to frequent recitations. Consequently, I grew up immersed in the works of Robert W. Service, Edgar Allen Poe and others of their ilk, lured and inspired by the rhythm and precision of their rhymes. Besides having shelves full of books at home, we made weekly trips to the public library as soon as we could read, returning each time with our arms full of adventures just waiting to be experienced. Rainy days or illnesses which kept us housebound were rarely problems, as there was always a book at hand to carry us to sunnier places. Wanting to write was a logical progression for me. I began in childhood with little rhymes, encouraged by both family and teachers. Stories abounded in my head, but didn't always make it to paper. I was great at starting them, but not so good at 'follow through'. Alas, that remains the case too often, but I did eventually learn that completing a poem or a tale brings its own rewards. An active member for 30 years in a local Writers Club, I've also attended numerous classes and participated in local, regional and statewide workshops, retreats and symposiums. Memberships in various professional writers groups over the years played roles in developing and honing my style, and all of these contributed to awards and publications in magazines and anthologies and finally, of longer works such as my short story collection and novels. I truly love writing in all forms - long or short, article or essay, memoir or fiction, light verse or serious poetry. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to share these efforts in the hope that something in them will delight or inspire readers as I have been so delighted and inspired by the written words of others throughout my life.
