Adventure of the Heart — Anne Marie Duquette

"You'd better not be lying!"

But Sierra Vaughn was lying. She needed a guide to take her into Arizona's dangerous Superstition Mountains, and Adam Copeland was her last chance.

Adam, an enigmatic, solitary man -- an intriguing man, Sierra decided -- adamantly refused to get involved with a "crazy treasure hunter" looking for the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine. Sierra was looking for the mine, all right, but she couldn't tell him why. So she claimed she was only doing research.

When Adam finally agreed to guide her, Sierra felt relief -- and regret at the lie. Because she needed Adam's help, but she wanted his respect even more. His respect...and maybe his love.

Hero: Adam Copeland
