When a
guy stops at a roadside diner, he expects bad chili, not a
hostage situation. But that's where SG-5 operative Harry van
Zandt finds himself when an armed cartel blows through the
door. They're not after him but the woman in the next booth,
and their message is clear: she's got seventy-two hours to
locate and deliver a valuable historical document or her
brother dies. And if Harry wants to live, he'd better go
with her.
Harry has his own undercover mission to
finish, but with a trigger-happy band on their tails, it'll
have to wait. Not that he minds helping Georgia McLain. The
tough treasure hunter is as smart as she is sexy. She's also
desperate. That artifact could finally clear her late
father's name. She needs Harry if she's going to
double-cross these thugs and keep it for herself, and her
gratitude is the kind that could turn a guy's head. Too bad
that document is also of vital importance to the Smithson
Group, and Harry's top-secret mission is to get it before it
falls into the wrong hands. Now, the beautiful, infuriating
woman he's starting to fall for could lead him right to what
he needs--and what she so desperately wants.
Out on the open road with a price on
their heads, two unlikely lovers are caught in a game of
secrets, lies, betrayals, and desire, where trust is risky
and love is no time to catch your breath...
