A BEAUTIFUL, DETERMINED AMERICAN WOMAN:
A desperate search for truth drove Anne Gatewood to grab the first plane to Peru. The American embassy had wired that her sister, Linda, had been killed in an auto accident, but Linda's last letter hinted at a mystery man and a threat that might lead to murder.

A RUGGEDLY HANDSOME CIA MAN:
From the moment Anne arrived in that exotic land, her life was in jeopardy -- and so was her heart. Waiting for her was Linda's former lover, Seth Ransome, whose sensual maleness and CIA connections spelled trouble.

Two strong-willed people, they clashed from the start. Anne had heard of men who could conquer a woman's common sense but she'd never met one -- until now. She needed Seth's help but she had to resist him... and the hot desires that crackled between them. From Lima's shadowy streets to the ruins of a fabulous lost city, he promised to protect her, but he couldn't promise not to break her heart.
