Title: The Metropolitan Affair
Series: On Central Park #1
Author: Jocelyn Green
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Release Date: March 14, 2023
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Bestselling author Jocelyn Green sweeps you away in a dazzling novel of secrets, betrayal, and romance within one of New York City's most esteemed museums.
For years her explorer father promised Dr. Lauren Westlake she'd accompany him on one of his Egyptian expeditions. But as the empty promises mounted, Lauren determined to earn her own way. Now the assistant curator of Egyptology for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lauren receives two unexpected invitations.
The first is her repentant father's offer to finally bring her to Egypt as his colleague on a new expedition. The second is a chance to enter the world of New York's wealthiest patrons who have been victims of art fraud.
With Egyptomania sweeping the city after the discovery of King Tut's tomb, Detective Joe Caravello is on the hunt for a notorious forger preying on the open wallets of New York's high society. Dr. Westlake is just the expert he needs to help him track the criminal. Together they search for the truth, and the closer Lauren and Joe get to discovering the forger's identity, the more entangled they become in a web of deception and crime.
"A second-chance love story set amidst the glamor of New York City during the roaring twenties. . . . This novel is a richly layered delight."--ELIZABETH CAMDEN, RITA and Christy Award-winning author
Lauren stifled a dark laugh. She had proven herself to many people and institutions along the way to earning her doctorate in Egyptology and attaining this position at the Met. She most certainly did not need to prove anything for a role she hadn’t looked for. “I have no time to impress some nameless board,” she began.
“Not nameless.” He cut her off, handing her a business card: Lawrence A. Westlake, executive board, Napoleon Society. A phone number and Manhattan PO Box followed. She’d heard of the society but hadn’t known that her father was involved with it, let alone on the board. Still, in a fledgling state, the organization was devoted to celebrating Egyptian history and culture and was named for the man whose explorations in Egypt inspired so many others. “Imagine what this could do for your career,” Lawrence said. Lauren had gotten further in a career in Egyptology than most women could ever dream of. Still, she couldn’t deny the pull of the field.
