Romance Suspense

Lexie Chandler learned the ways of gem hunting from her grandfather. She's determined to carry on his legacy and she loves the adventure, the thrill of the hunt as she scours the world for the rarest gems. When she has the chance to acquire the Heart of Burma, a huge ruby, Lexie can't turn away.

Unfortunately, the ruby is supposedly in the hands of a rebel gunrunner who's not located at the nearest Hilton. Nope, he's holed up in the Burmese jungle and Lexie has to hire help to get her there. Enter Cole Bannon. He's sexy, he's dangerous, and most importantly, he's got the smarts to get Lexie to her ruby. She may not be sure what his agenda is, but she has few options in the jungle. So they're off...and what an adventure it will be!

Oh yeah! Hot, hot, hot! Ms. Montana always knows how to steam up the windows, or in this case, she adds to the already steamy jungle scene. Cole is so sexy you'll be dreaming about him. And Lexie is definitely his match. A terrific book!

SUMMARY

My mother thinks I'm a delicate Southern flower. But believe me, Lexie Chandler's not someone to take lightly! I'm a gemologist, a karate black belt, and can accurately fire any gun out there. Plus, I won't back down . . . ever! And right now, my sights are set on the Heart of Burma, a magnificent, blood-red ruby that's currently in the hands of a rebel gunrunner holed up in the tiger- infested Burmese jungle.

I hate to admit it, but I can't do this one alone. Luckily, nails-tough American expatriate Cole Bannon is willing to partner up. But this guy's so drop-dead gorgeous and blisteringly hot, how am I going to keep my mind on the mission at hand -- especially since we'll be facing a small army, and maybe even a hungry jungle predator or two?

Besides, who knows what Cole's true agenda is . . . or if the survival of Lexie Chandler is part of it.
