AnnotationAfter revealing and rescuing the secret gospel of Mary Magdalene in THE EXPECTED ONE, what can Maureen Paschal possibly do for an encore? In this sequel, Paschal and her beau, Bérenger, set out to track down yet another blessed ancient text, "The Book of Love." Perhaps you wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, who...who wrote "The Book of Love?" It turns out to be the Prince of Peace himself, Jesus. Paschal is forced to unravel several Christian riddles and decode poetic passages in order to finally uncover Jesus' ultimate message to the world. The mystery is tied to a real-life historical figure, Countess Matilda of Tuscany, who McGowan speculates was secretly married to Pope Gregory VII. Maureen Paschal thought she might rest and work on her book after discovering the gospel written by Mary Magdalene that revealed Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married. The truth of their story rocked the world and made Maureen a target of those who did not like her discovery and a heroine to those who did. Then Maureen receives a strange package containing what looks like an ancient letter written in Latin and signed with a symbol. She discovers that its author is an extraordinary woman whom history has overlooked -- or covered up -- Countess Matilda of Tuscany, and in the letter Matilda demands the return of her "most precious books and documents." Maureen soon finds herself in a race across Italy and France, where hidden dangers await her and her lover, Berenger, as they begin to realize that they are on the trail of another explosive discovery: the Book of Love, the Gospel written in Jesus' own hand. As Maureen learns more about Matilda, an eleventhcentury warrior countess who was secretly married to a pope, she begins to see the eerie connections between herself and Matilda, connections she must trace to their source if she is to stop the wrong people from finding the Book of Love and hiding it forever. Weaving together Matilda's little-known true story and Maureen's thrilling search, "The Book of Love" follows two amazing heroines as their stories intertwine through time. Maureen is immersed in the mysteries of the labyrinth, the beautiful poetry of the Song of Songs, the world's greatest art and architecture, and Matilda's amazing legacy...until a potentially fatal encounter reveals the Book of Love to Maureen -- and to the reader.
