Caridad Pineiro brings two of my favorite things, archeology
and romance, together in this intriguing and mystical tale
of a search for hidden treasure and a missing mother. THE
FIFTH KINGDOM is an entertaining adventure flavored with
romance and a bit of ancient history. Great characters,
non-stop action, and flaring passion will keep you reading
late into the night.
Dr. Deanna Vasquez spends much of her time teaching children
at a private school. Her breaks are spent exploring the
world while pursing her archeological work. Her expertise
in Mesoamerican history isn't surprising given that both of
her parents are renowned scholars in this area. Raised by
her father, Deanna hasn't seen her mother in years; not
since she left to search for Montezuma's tomb and didn't
come back. Deanna has little interest in re-connecting with
her mother until CIA agent Bill Santana seeks Deanna's help
after her mother is abducted by terrorists. Deanna finds she
must help in any way she can. Suddenly, Deanna finds herself
on a plane to Mexico on a quest to find her mother and bring
down a terrorist organization. In the process, Bill and
Deanna find that they have a mutual attraction they can't
deny.
Dr. Deanna Vasquez hasn’t spoken to her mother in years,
not since the renowned archaeologist abandoned her family
in her quest to find the lost tomb of Montezuma. When CIA
agent Bill Santana shows up in her classroom with the news
that her mother has been abducted by terrorists, Deanna has
to help in any way she can.
Bill needs Deanna’s expertise to determine the location of
her mother’s latest find, before her kidnappers do. He
fears whatever mysteries the tomb holds could be deadly in
the wrong hands. In an effort to make contact with the
terrorist cell, Bill accompanies Deanna to Mexico posing as
her fiancé—a ruse made doubly dangerous because of the very
real heat between them...
