Geologist Gemma Hastings has no interest in pursuing romance—and no patience for Lord Cameron Lisle, an esteemed fossil hunter who has a way of always honing in on her territory . . . annoyingly handsome though he may be. But when a shocking attack puts Gemma in very real danger, she may have to accept Lisle's offers of protection. Even if that means entering into a dangerous flirtation . . .
Lisle was once amused by Gemma's dedication to her work. But now that he understands how much he's underestimated her—a woman whose beauty is matched only by her genius—Lisle is desperate to prove his respect . . . and prove himself worthy of her. But is he too late? A bitter rival, desperate to steal Gemma's scientific findings, is still at-large. Can Lisle help uncover the culprit and keep her safe—forever, in his loving arms?
Contains mature themes.
