Gold is the most precious of metals. And someone would kill to get at the dazzling exhibit of priceless Spanish treasure Abby Maitland just landed for the museum. It's too bad that Zan Duncan had to show up to protect her, but someone's waiting - and watching. She's in the crosshairs and she doesn't have a clue. Abby is mesmerized by Zan's untamed strength and his very sexual vibe. From the long dark hair, the thick, hard muscles, and the black leather jacket right on down to the honed fighting skills and the tattoos, Zan is everything a bad boy ought to be...and everything Abby has sworn to avoid. Yet he's a master of subtle seduction, pushing her buttons with tantalizing promises of night after hot night of secret, endless pleasure. Promises that he keeps, to the letter...But danger stalks them both, for a lethal game of deception, greed, and murder is underway - a game more sinister than Abby and Zan ever imagined. And when no one can be trusted and no place is safe, passion may be the only thing that can save them...
