Another impossible to find relic, another challenge for Ross and O’Neill…
For Amber Ross, going straight, leaving her forgery skills in the past, embracing her new honest life working for the Metropolitan Museum of Art proves difficult whenever her occasional partner-in-crime, treasure hunter Rick O’Neill, shows up. Especially when he tempts her with a relic that shouldn’t exist.
One job. Enough money to keep her in fancy shoes for the next six months. And the chance to see something impossible… Yeah, irresistible temptations.
So long as the exchange at the cute little café next to a bookstore goes well, Amber gets her prize. But if things go wrong…
More could be destroyed than just an ancient relic.
