DIAMOND HUNTER: When diamond smuggling leads to murder, diamonds aren't this girl's best friend.
Colorado geologist Petra Paris must clear her father of fraud charges by collecting fresh rock samples at an open pit diamond mine in Canada's far north. When someone tries to frame her with stolen uncut diamonds, Petra needs protection. Local pilot Seth Cooper, an undercover cop with the Diamond Protection Unit, needs access to the mine complex. They strike a deal to have Seth pose as her boyfriend so he can overnight on site to investigate the smuggling operation.
In their bedroom under the midnight sun, Petra fights magnetic desire to sample Seth's rock-hard body. The prospect of intimacy hot enough to heat up the Arctic is a deadly distraction. She needs to focus on her mission. Besides, Seth is commitment-phobic: his job put his ex-wife in danger.
With cops closing in, escape blocked and millions in stolen diamonds at stake, desperate smugglers ramp up to murder. The isolated mine site becomes a death trap. Seth must expose the villains before Petra becomes the next victim.
Author MADELLE MORGAN lived for five adventure-filled years in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada - The Diamond Capital of North America. An engineer, she flew in small planes to projects throughout the far north, and developed a deep love and respect for the Inuit, Dene and Inuvialuit cultures and people. Years later she "mined" her Arctic adventures to write Diamond Hunter (previously published as Diamond Lust).
