YA
Laura's life is nearly perfect now: she's engaged to her love, Roberto, and the Segreta, the all-female secret society she joined in Cross My Heart, is as powerful as ever. Then Roberto is accused of murdering an Ottoman princess, and the empire threatens war with Venice. The conspiracies and political intrigue tip into outlandishness in this sequel, but it's an exhilarating ride.

YA
Recently released from a convent and mourning the death of her older sister, Laura becomes indebted to the Segreta--a society of secrets--when they prevent her arranged marriage. As she becomes embroiled in Venice's twisted social web, she learns that dark secrets lurk in everyone. Gould evokes sixteenth-century Venice beautifully in this story of deceit, political intrigue, mystery, and romance.
