The Legend Hunters . . .
The Men of Solomon's meet in secret, their very existence only a rumor among the best of Victorian society. They are treasure hunters, men of wealth and title, seekers of myths and legends. And no legend is as mystifying as the lost city of Atlantis . . .
DESIRE ME
Years ago, Maxwell Barrett found a map to Atlantis and dedicated his life to the search for the mystical lost continent. But when an alluring woman makes a wager for the priceless artifact, he may have discovered an even greater treasure.
A descendant of Atlantis, Sabine Tobias needs the map to decipher an ancient prophecy. What she doesn't need are the sparks flying between her and Max. He's too devilishly charming to be trusted: The fate of her people is at stake as well as her heart. Yet a ruthless killer also covets the map. Now Max and Sabine must race to decode the prophecy's riddle before this criminal fulfills his deadly mission.
Sabine is an exotic but quiet beauty. She is determined to protect her elderly aunts and their family secrets by helping them hide in plain site. Unfortunately someone knows the secrets of Atlantis and it killing the guardians to get control of the power. Sabine has to get the ancient map to figure out the prophecy and prevent a world take over.
Sabine sets off to try to get the map from Max by seductive distraction, gambling at cards or sneaky theft. Whatever will work. Unfortunately, she has gotten Max’s interest and he is more accustomed to sneaking than she is and seems to be one step ahead of her. She doesn’t really trust him but he may be the safest bet she has after attacks threaten her Aunts in the safety of their home. Sabine and Max will face more attacks as they race around the countryside following clues from the map.
It is hard enough dodging one villain, much less two. There is an egotistical, power hungry enemy to uncover. Plus a red herring in a Cruella Deville-like female villain who is complete with inept thugs.
How long can Sabine and Max cope with the adrenaline from the adventures and the dangerous threats without also mixing in the electric attraction between them? Once they succumb (okay - you guessed they would) is it real or just the excitement of the chase? What happens when they get trapped in a closet ... or two? Yes... use your imagination! But will Max betray her by sneaking away the elixir? Can Sabine face the killer and save the world? All good questions and the best way to find out is to read this adventure. Go on - if you like riddles, escapades, and sensual loving I’m willing to bet you’ll enjoy reading this book!
