She believes love is a distraction. He's about to prove her wrong.
In 1886, brilliant archaeologist Kacey O'Reilly has no intention of surrendering her independence?or her heart. Educated, ambitious, and utterly unimpressed by charm, she dismisses the dangerously handsome Rafael Assante as nothing more than a notorious rake.
But when fate?and her father?throws them together on a remote Colorado excavation, sparks fly beneath wide skies and rugged terrain. Shared passions ignite, tempers flare, and desire refuses to stay buried.
As secrets surface and attraction deepens, Kacey must decide whether protecting her hard-won freedom is worth denying the one man who awakens her deepest longing.
Some discoveries change history. Others change everything.
