Eugenia Swift is the director of the Leabrook Glass Museum. She's big into glass sculptures, not unlike an artist who just died and left his collection to the museum. As such, she's going to Frog Cove Island to take a look at the collection. However, the collector died under... mysterious circumstances so her boss decrees that Eugenia must take along a bodyguard, Cyrus Colfax.
Colfax doesn't know much about glass art, outside of a cup (chalice) that was stolen from him by a former partner who ended up wanting Colfax dead. He does know he likes beer and Hawaiian shirts, both of which seem to irritate the classy Eugenia. But the two are going to pose as a couple in order to give him an excuse to come to the island.
I remember enjoying this book more when it first came out. As you might expect nearly 20 years later, some of the attitudes are a bit grating but the story is still good and Krentz's style holds up.

This book was fun and engaging. Characters held my attention and the plot had me thinking. I really liked how the author brought it all together throughout the story so it felt like we all came to the same conclusion at the end. I will try another by this author and see if I am a fan!

Another great book by Ms. Krentz. Love this story. Cyrus Chandler Colfax is a great hero and Eugenia is stuffy until she loosened up. Great chemistry.

Re-read this for the fourth time in july, 2018. Still a great story.
