Empire of the Heart — Maura Seger

For the first time in her life, she had a chance to do something for herself--and no one was going to rob her of it.

She was alone in a wild, untamed land with a man who lived outside all the rules of the only world she knew. A man who didn't hesitate to go after what he wanted, whether a lost city, a golden treasure, or a woman.

Jordan Nash had resisted Elizabeth's desire to fulfill her father's last wish and find the vanished empire of dreams. But a smoldering passion lay between them, ready to burst into flames. Elizabeth might seem prudish and repressed, but Jordan saw deep within her a beautiful, sensual woman awakening, yearning for fulfillment.

Together they began a quest that would reward them beyond their wildest dreams.
