My Review:-Getting away from her family and a life of freedom. Wren Summers gets the job of her dreams at Sydney Art Museum, something she didn't think was possible. But it's not long before that changes and she heading to New York. Wren starts her internship at Archer's Auction House, a place where only men had worked, she knew it wasn't going to be easy. Lily, Wren's mother wants Wren to find a girl called Roma, but who is Roma? I don't like given the plot away, all I will say is there are plenty of twists, fraud, deceit, betrayal and illegal activities going on.
