The Gift - Eens gegeven

There is room for improvement in Feline's life: she lives in a creaky former hotel. She has her dream job at the Amsterdam Auction, but only on paper. Her boss gives all the interesting jobs to his son and leaves the boring tasks to Feline.

When Feline has to pick up something for her boss, that trip ends, unexpectedly, in a wild night with the handsome Teun, who works as a banker in the London City. The quirky painting he jokingly gives to her as a farewell present, turns out to hide a second, much more valuable painting: an undiscovered Breitner. Clearly Teun wasn't aware of this. If Feline sells the painting, she is able to renovate her house. She is sure she will never see Teun again. But then an English investment bank hires the Amsterdam Auction for its newly opened Dutch branch. And the banker who runs the project only wants to work with Feline ...
