For archaeologist Fiona Carver, the Caribbean glistens with untold menace in a heart-racing novel by Rachel Grant, USA Today bestselling author of Dangerous Ground.

Fiona Carver has landed a dream assignment: conducting an archaeological inventory of Ruby Island, a privately owned, pristine gem in the Caribbean. Two months in paradise exploring and mapping a lush rain forest, vast caves, and a seventeenth-century star fort and following up on legends of hidden Spanish gold. Add a simmering reunion with wildlife photographer Dean Slater and it’s enough to take Fiona’s breath away. But the sparkle fades when Dean’s arrival is met with sudden, terrifying danger.

Reunited and determined to see the project through, Fiona and Dean find themselves in a swirl of intrigue as they delve into the complex history of the unspoiled refuge, now a tropical haven for billionaires and their secrets. But the work isn’t easy, as someone appears determined to kill the project—by any means necessary.

As betrayal casts tropical storm clouds over Ruby Island and treasured friendships dissolve into distrust, one thing becomes clear: Fiona and Dean are trapped in a dangerous paradise.

What A Week!

I’m busy learning all the things at the ROMANCE AUTHOR MASTERMIND conference this weekend. Enjoy this snippet of BROKEN FALCON

Here is a snippet from a scene before Eden learns who Chase really is:

Chase entered the shop, braced for Eden to be put off by seeing him. After all, this wasn’t the same coffee shop where the incident had happened, and she was protective of her information. But she’d also given this as her address, so she knew he had the information legitimately, and it was better than showing up at her townhouse.

She was smiling, though, and it was genuine, so his presence wasn’t unwelcome.

He opened his mouth to say hello, and the word wouldn’t come. It wasn’t his speech impediment that stopped him, it was memories of his last visit to her site.

He wasn’t familiar with navigating the day—or week—after. Especially when only one of them knew what they’d shared.

This was a messed-up situation.

She doesn’t know.

“Hey, stranger,” she said, when he didn’t speak. “You here for coffee, tea…or me?”

He laughed. “Y-you, ac-actually.” He cleared his throat and dropped his voice so she wouldn’t recognize it. Plus it helped with the stutter. “But I’ll take a coffee too.”

She grabbed a ceramic mug—not a to-go cup, he noticed—and held it up. “Just straight drip?”

He nodded and she filled the mug from the ready-made pot and set it on the counter before him. He pulled out his wallet.

“Your money’s no good here. You helped us out last week. Least the owner can do is comp your coffee.”

“It might have been Raptor’s fault there was a problem to begin with.”

“The girl did nothing wrong in having coffee in a coffee shop.” She poured a second mug of coffee and leaned on the counter after taking a sip. “So what’s up? I mean, much as I’d like to believe you’re here for me, I have a feeling there’s more.”

Oh, Eden, you have no idea.
