But reaching her destination, she finds herself surprised, as the leader of the dig, Nathan Forde, is nothing alike to what she expected - instead of an everyday scientist, she finds herself in company of a tall, handsome, incredibly masculine researcher. To her dismay, Viona is almost fatally attracted to him... but in the jungle, where robbers prey on the dig, her untimely attraction, answered or unanswered, may not be the only thing fatal...
