Clio Chase is beautiful, intelligent, and determined—the way all the daughters of the famous professor Walter Chase, nicknamed the Muses, are. With cunning, the girl managed to find out where the handsome Edward Radcliffe, the Duke of Averton, nicknamed the Greedy Duke, hides the stolen treasure from Delos—the Alabaster Goddess. During the bustle of the duke’s masquerade ball, Clio slipped into the gallery and there, under a black silk cover, discovered a marvelous statue. But she didn’t have time to decide what to do with this discovery when—disguised as Dionysus, with a leopard pelt on his shoulder—Averton appeared in front of her. Clio was horrified—being alone in a dark gallery with such a dangerous man, who also has a reputation for destroying women! Only this was all she didn’t need!
