Smitten — Sonia Icilyn

Real estate agent Paige Alexander is about to turn thirty. No problem - except she's just dumped her boyfriend - and the last thing she wants is to show up at her own birthday party alone. All she needs is someone to pose as her date and when she meets Rhys Langston through an online introduction agency, she thinks he might fill the bill. But when she meets him in the flesh, she's surprised to find -- she's smitten.

Money is no object to Rhys, and when he falls madly for Paige, he spends a small fortune on an exotic gift - a rare Egyptian statuette. But Rhys's enemy has set his sights on the statue, believing it holds a clue to buried treasure - and is prepared to do anything to get it. Now, with Paige caught in the crossfire, Rhys realizes he's found something far rarer than the statuette - a lasting love - and he must do everything he can to save it.
