The Botticelli Secret by Marina Fiorato

Thank you, condo owners, for leaving an excellent example of kinda smutty historical fiction for me to drool over for the past two days! I loved this one so much that I added the rest of the author's books to my to-read list on Goodreads.

Luciana isn't your typical heroine--she's a high-priced whore who earns some extra money posing for artists. When she poses for Botticelli and steals from him, the events of the novel are set in motion. Thrown together with a high-born monk, the two renegades are driven to save the Italian city-states from war. Of course, Luciana isn't what she thinks she is, and neither is the simple monk. But the two together are unstoppable. Think The da Vinci Code meets Girl with the Pearl Earring!
