Cassie Ashton has attempted all her professional life to
find acceptance from the "traditional" archeological
community. As a gifted commercial collector of all things

tourists and the public. But Dr. Alex Martinelli joins the
rest of the academic world in belittling her
accomplishments. They have an on-going feud that sparks
fires where ever they go.
But when she discovers the find of a lifetime, Cassie knows

compete for discoveries. Yet the chemistry between them is
blistering.
ONE DANGEROUS FIND...
To their dismay, Cassie and Alex are forced to team up to
protect Cassie's latest discovery -- a priceless ancient
skeleton. For it quickly becomes clear that someone will
stop at nothing to steal it. Thrown together in the face of
danger, the two rivals try to fight their passionate, long-
suppressed attraction. But sometimes, when you're on the
run and falling in love, there's only...
