Honor Donovan is a shrewd businesswoman, yet she has been
shut out of Donovan International by her father and four
brothers. When her favorite brother Kyle vanishes, along
with a fortune in stolen amber, Honor's questions are
ignored by the Donovan males. Defying them, she heads to the
San Juan Islands of the Pacific Northwest in search of
answers.
Honor needs a guide because she knows nothing about running
a boat -- and she knows nothing about Jake Mallory until he
answers her ad. One of the things she doesn't know is that
Jake is much more than a fishing guide. Until Kyle
disappeared, Jake was brokering amber deals in the Baltic
for Donovan International. Honor is completely unaware of
the old wars, new politics, greed, and stolen amber that
have lured ruthless, high-stakes players from around the
globe.
Jake wants no part of the intrigue, or of a Donovan woman in
his life, but he suspects the Donovans have set him up to
take the fall for Kyle's treachery. The way Jake sees it,
some Donovan is going to pay for his troubles, and it just
may turn out to be Honor
Jake and Honor cast off on a journeys moldering with
distrust, betrayal, vengeance... and temptation. A hunger
grows between them that is as dangerous as the secrets they
keep. Alone at sea, they pursue the stubborn mystery of the
Amber Room, flee from relentless enemies, and fight against
trusting each other. Yet when Honor and Jake dare to confide
in one another, they face a final truth: the penalty for
betrayal is death; the reward is a lifetime...together.
