The Collector by Nora Roberts: When professional house-sitter Lila
Emerson witnesses a murder/suicide from her current apartment-sitting job, life
as she knows it takes a dramatic turn. Suddenly, the woman with no permanent ties
finds herself almost wishing for one. Artist Ashton Archer knows his brother
isn't capable of violence--against himself or others. He recruits Lila, the
only eyewitness, to help him uncover what happened. Ash longs to paint her as
intensely as he hungers to touch her. But their investigation draws them into a
rarified circle where priceless antiques are bought, sold, gambled away, and
stolen, where what you possess is who you are, and where what you desire
becomes a deadly obsession.
