From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Elisabeth Naughton, the first book in her sexy, heart-pounding Stolen Series.
To unearth a centuries-old secret, an archaeologist must team up with the rakish thief who's stolen both an ancient relic and her heart...
Oh, is he handsome. And charming. And sexy as all get out. Dr. Lisa Maxwell isn’t the type to go home with a guy she barely knows. But, hey, this is Italy and the red-blooded Rafe Sullivan seems much more enticing than cataloging a bunch of dusty artifacts.
After being fully seduced, Lisa wakes to an empty bed and, worse yet, an empty safe. She’s staked her career as an archaeologist on collecting the three Furies, a priceless set of ancient Greek reliefs. Now the one she had is gone. But Lisa won’t just get mad. She’ll get even.
She tracks Rafe to Florida, and finds the sparks between them blaze hotter than the Miami sun. He may still have her relic, but he’ll never find all three without her. And they’re not the only ones on the hunt. To beat the other treasure seekers, they’ll have to partner up—because suddenly Lisa and Rafe are in a race just to stay alive.
INCLUDES NEW BONUS EPILOGUE!!

"In Naughton's rock-solid debut, the first of a trilogy, a duo searching for three magnificent bas-reliefs of the Greek Furies find romance and danger as well. For 15 years, since the death of her lover, Dr. Lisa Maxwell has been obsessed with reuniting the sculptures of Alecto, Megaera and Tisiphone.

With the help of her twin brother, Chicago detective Shane Maxwell, Lisa locates Rafe in Key West, Fla., where he has a line on Megaera. They reluctantly join forces and race to find Tisiphone before another treasure hunter picks them off.

From the Inside Flap
THE DANGER OF DESIRE
"You couldn't stop what happened that night any more than I could." Rafe trailed a finger down the long, sexy line of her neck. "Then or now."
"I don't get involved with people I'm working with, Slick."
Lisa's skin was soft, like silk beneath his palms. He wanted to taste that delectable neck, work his way down her body, savor every square inch of her. "I hate to break this to you, querida , but I think we're already involved."
She stiffened. Then turned and looked up, those emeralds shifting from soft green pools to rock-hard stones in the length of time it took for his words to register.
But lurking just behind the shield, he saw the desire brewing deep inside. She wanted him, dammit. She couldn't hide it any more than he could. She was just a lot better at fighting it.
"We're partners now, Sullivan. You made that choice all on your own. And I have strict rules about colleagues. Those rules don't bend for anyone. Especially you."
He braced his hands on the counter, trapping her between his body and the cupboards as he leaned closer. She tensed. That heady scent of hers made the blood rush to his head.
"Never?" He knew that was a lie. His lips curled as his gaze ran over her face and hovered on that oh-so-scrumptious mouth. God, he wanted her. She was teetering on the edge, despite all her sanctimonious words and ideas. One brush of his lips and he could rock her right to her knees. One taste and she could take him with her.
