For 500 years we've been looking at the Mona Lisa, and it turns out that she's been looking right back at us. Over the centuries, few could hear her voice, but now we are let into the secret, as she tells us her story in her own words - a tale of rivalry, murder and heartbreak. And a mystery of Leonardo's greatest lost painting. Weaving through the years, she takes us from the dazzling world of da Vinci's Florentine studio to the French courts at Fontainebleau and Versailles, and into the 20th century.

The plane took off, and I couldn't stop trembling, despite the soothing sound of the pilot singing a Beatles song over the intercom. My name is Bianca “Binx” Moretti, and I hack from the rich to give to the poor - mostly. Only I hacked from the wrong rich guy and was literally on the flight for my life. When Xander Hawke took the seat next to me, he tried to charm me with his smooth-talking ways and dimpled cheeks. Yeah, he’s drop-dead gorgeous, but he's also arrogant as hell.

How did that quote go? Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world.... Well, this was a biker bar, not a gin joint, and there wasn't really a town nearby. But to have my long-lost stepbrother show up in the very place I'd washed up a month earlier - that was the same kind of irony.

Es begann alles mit einem Vertrag, der erst von ihm, dann von mir unterzeichnet wurde, während unsere Familien zusahen. Mein Vater saß daneben, ein besiegter Mann, der seine Tochter den Benedetto-Monstern gab. Ich gehorchte. Ich spielte meine Rolle. Ich unterschrieb und verlor meine Freiheit. Ich wurde zu ihrer lebenden, atmenden Trophäe, einem Symbol ihrer Macht über uns.

Ich bin die Tochter eines einfachen Mafioso. Die Schwester eines Spitzels. So lange ich mich erinnern kann, waren Monster ein Teil meines Lebens gewesen. Aber an dem Morgen, als ich in dieser kalten, verlassenen Hütte aufwache und Domenico auf mich herabblickt, weiß ich, dass ich das schrecklichste aller Monster getroffen habe. Er ließ mich herbringen, um mich zu brechen. Aber das ist nicht so einfach. Und sobald er das Zeichen auf meiner Haut sieht, ändert sich alles.

Monsters don't hide in the dark. When I met Damian Di Santo in a dark corridor of my family home I knew he was a monster. I was a scared girl. He was already a man. That was when his twisted countdown began. Marked by dead roses and sharp thorns, eight years passed each bringing me closer to becoming his. Until the eve of my eighteenth birthday. That was the night he returned to claim me.

Melanie Bennett and Detective Brian Morris met over a year ago when he solved her best friend's murder case, and now Nashville's annual Christmas festivities have them crossing paths again, could it be fate?

Monsters don't often look like monsters on the outside. Forced to marry a man I should hate, I'm now bound to Damian. I sometimes wonder what he sees when he looks at me. Deer in headlights, I guess. What I see is clear. Darkness. Desire. Carnal want. A man with too much experience. The day he took me he told me I belong to him. On our wedding night he proved I did. And I believe him when he says he'll keep me safe because he won't let anyone touch what's his. But I can't forget what he is. Can't forget the things he's done. And no matter what, I can't let myself fall in love with him.
