Eleanor Romano, researcher and art historian, is known for being thoughtful and cautious. She rarely takes risks, choosing instead to live vicariously through her best friend Nora's sexual exploits. It's difficult to be spontaneous when you're constantly fact-checking, always questioning yourself, adding in the proper footnotes.
When Eleanor discovers an ancient Greek manuscript in the wreckage of an antique urn, she has no idea what doors it will open...starting with the door to L.A.'s exclusive club, The Pink Fedora, and leading to the office door of the famous, and sexy, British translator, Anthony Rule.
