Diamonds–jewels of every kind, in fact–are Taylor Kincaid’s best
friends. The only thing she enjoys more is the challenge of
stealing
them, at which she excels like few others in the world. And
specializing in plundering precious stones from wealthy
international
criminals just makes it all the more satisfying . . . and
dangerously
exciting. So for Taylor, there’s no resisting the double
allure of
snatching the elusive Blue Star diamonds–a prize she has
pursued across
three continents–from the South American stronghold of the
murderous
Morales terrorist organization.
The heist goes down
without a
hitch. Until Taylor discovers she has made off with more
than she
bargained for, namely the secret security-system codes that
provide
access to a South African diamond mine–packed with enough
gems to sink
a battleship. Suddenly, Taylor’s no longer just an ultrachic
freelance
jewel thief, but a reluctant player in a high-stakes
cat-and-mouse game
against elite global trouble-shooters and bloodthirsty
terrorists.
There’s
nothing reluctant, however, about Huntington St. John, the
top T-FLAC
operative who’s hot on Taylor’s trail. And in Taylor’s
opinion, just
plain hot. The feeling, emotional and otherwise, is very
mutual. Though
they’re on opposite sides of the law, Hunt and Taylor
swiftly come to
appreciate each other’s well-honed skills. But since ecstasy is
fleeting, and diamonds are forever, Taylor soon slips from
the sheets
and hits the streets . . . to reclaim the jewels she stashed
overseas.
And true to his name, Hunt is close behind–but this time,
he’s after
more than the codes. With the clock ticking, and two groups of
terrorists closing fast, they’ll have to mix pleasure with
some very
risky business. If they can survive danger at every turn,
outwit the
ultimate high-tech security system, and somehow conquer each
other... they just might get everything they desire.
