THE
BOOK OF
TRUE
DESIRES
Cordelia O'Keefe Blackburn strikes a deal with her crusty old tycoon of a
grandfather to fund an expedition that will make her name as an explorer.
But first, he requires she prove herself by locating three Mayan stone
carvings and something known as "the gift of the jaguar."
To make matters worse, he insists on sending along someone-- his arrogant
butler!-- to authenticate her findings, and it becomes clear that a powerful
and ruthless third party is set on finding the fabled stones and treasure
first.
As the trail leads them across the Caribbean and into Mexico, Cordelia
learns that tall, sardonic Hartford Goodnight is far more than just a
butler. And Goodnight learns that beautiful, provocative Cordelia is as
tough as she is tempting. Soon, the pair is hip deep in danger and desire,
racing the competition to the prize-- and trying to keep the sparks between
them from setting the rain forest ablaze!
