About the book
"I've agreed to work for you--and that's all!"
When Luke Avery needed an oceanographer to help him search for sunken treasure off the Madagascar coast, Melanie took the job--reluctantly.
Not that she was worried about the work, despite its undeniable risks. It was Luke she feared. Luke with his perceptive, probing questions... and his devastating kisses.
