First Time in Paperback
SummaryHonor Donovan is a shrewd businesswoman, yet she has been
shut out of Donovan International by her father and four
brothers. When her favorite brother Kyle vanishes, along
with a fortune in stolen amber, Honor's questions are
ignored by the Donovan males. Defying them, she heads to
the San Juan Islands of the Pacific Northwest in search of
answers.
Honor needs a guide because she knows nothing about
running a boat—and she knows nothing about Jake
Mallory until he answers her ad. One of the things she
doesn't know is that Jake is much more than a fishing
guide. Until Kyle disappeared, Jake was brokering amber
deals in the Baltic for Donovan International. Honor is
completely unaware of the old wars, new politics, greed,
and stolen amber that have lured ruthless, high-stakes
players from around the globe.
Jake wants no part of the intrigue, or of a Donovan woman
in his life, but he suspects the Donovans have set him up
to take the fall for Kyle's treachery. The way Jake sees
it, some Donovan is going to pay for his troubles, and it
just may turn out to be Honor
Jake and Honor cast off on a journeys moldering with
distrust, betrayal, vengeance... and temptation. A hunger
grows between them that is as dangerous as the secrets
they keep. Alone at sea, they pursue the stubborn mystery
of the Amber Room, flee from relentless enemies, and fight
against trusting each other. Yet when Honor and Jake dare
to confide in one another, they face a final truth: the
penalty for betrayal is death; the reward is a
lifetime...together.
