Diamonds-jewels of every kind, in fact-are Taylor Kincaid's 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, there's no resisting the double allure of snatching the elusive
Blue Star diamonds-a prize she has pursued across three continents-from
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 mine-packed with
enough gems to sink a battleship. Suddenly, Taylor's 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.
There's nothing reluctant, however, about Huntington St. John, the top
T-FLAC operative who's hot on Taylor's trail. And in Taylor's opinion,
just plain hot. The feeling, emotional and otherwise, is very mutual.
Though they're on opposite sides of the law, Hunt and Taylor swiftly
come to appreciate each other's 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 behind-but this time, he's after
more than the codes. With the clock ticking, and two groups of
terrorists closing fast, they'll 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.
