Award-winning author Cherry Adair broke thrilling new ground with On Thin Iceâher stunning romantic suspense hardcover debut. Now Cherryâs turning up the temperature, amping up the action, and raising the degree of danger and desire to irresistibly hot new heights.
Diamondsâjewels of every kind, in factâare Taylor Kincaidâs best friends. The only thing she enjoys more is the challenge of stealing them, at which she excels like few others in the world. And specializing in plundering precious stones from wealthy international criminals just makes it all the more satisfying . . . and dangerously exciting. So for Taylor, thereâs no resisting the double allure of snatching the elusive Blue Star diamondsâa prize she has pursued across three continentsâfrom the South American stronghold of the murderous Morales terrorist organization.
The heist goes down without a hitch. Until Taylor discovers she has made off with more than she bargained for, namely the secret security-system codes that provide access to a South African diamond mineâpacked with enough gems to sink a battleship. Suddenly, Taylorâs no longer just an ultrachic freelance jewel thief, but a reluctant player in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game against elite global trouble-shooters and bloodthirsty terrorists.
Thereâs nothing reluctant, however, about Huntington St. John, the top T-FLAC operative whoâs hot on Taylorâs trail. And in Taylorâs opinion, just plain hot. The feeling, emotional and otherwise, is very mutual. Though theyâre on opposite sides of the law, Hunt and Taylor swiftly come to appreciate each otherâs well-honed skills. But since ecstasy is fleeting, and diamonds are forever, Taylor soon slips from the sheets and hits the streets . . . to reclaim the jewels she stashed overseas. And true to his name, Hunt is close behindâbut this time, heâs after more than the codes. With the clock ticking, and two groups of terrorists closing fast, theyâll have to mix pleasure with some very risky business. If they can survive danger at every turn, outwit the ultimate high-tech security system, and somehow conquer each other . . . they just might get everything they desire.
