Mangled bodies, explosions and erotic sexual fantasies. Welcome back to Asberek where it's all in a day's work for Dr. Elise Fleming. But Elise's fantasies go beyond the norm. The quirky archeologist dreams of both pleasure and pain and her fantasies revolve around a man who is both dangerous and distant. She and Donny Pasquel have shared a heated sexual encounter but nothing more. Why can she not forget the man who refuses all contact with her until he's forced to protect her life? Donny Pasquel has a history of violence and harbors personal demons. He also denies his sexual need for a woman who can't be his. Elise offers a glimpse of something he doesn't deserve and will never have. But he can't seem to resist the lure of her flesh and that dark, dangerous glint he sees in her eyes. As the two are drawn tighter into a web of danger, deception and intrigue, their sexual tensions increase until pain and pleasure finally collide into a sexual encounter neither may survive.
