Both Viva Fiori and Sam Wyatt have somewhere to be and something vitally important to. Little do they know their lives are about to intertwine in surprising ways and soon enough they will realise that in saving the world, they may also end up falling for each other. Vivi Fiori wondered how the day could have gotten so bad so fast. One minute, she's on a train moving through the Thai countryside, a precious archaeological artefact in her hands; the next, she's being chased through the jungle by the Thai mafia with some hardcore American marine right behind her, shouting orders like she should be grateful for his macho interference. What Vivi needs is to get to her contact in Bangkok - warm shower, nice hotel, girly clothes, no dead bodies or sexy armed Marines. Her practical side is telling her to run like hell. Then again, her practical side never met a guy like Sam Wyatt...Sam has a mission - follow a trail of stolen diamonds, hoping it will lead him to the weapons sale he needs to stop. Finding the terrorists who took down his buddy will be the icing on the cake. But now, he's stuck babysitting a curvy, talk-a-mile-a-minute redhead who's hell-bent on playing Indiana Jones with her piece of Thai history. He can't just abandon her to the snakes, the crocs, the Mafia, and whatever else is out there. She wouldn't last ten seconds. And he can't deny that everything about her stirs a deep hunger in him - or that the power of their attraction is so electric he knows he can never really let her go. Now, protecting Vivi is his new mission - his most dangerous yet - and one that will lead them both to a deadly threat beyond all imagining.
