"Exciting romantic suspense"
Their first clash occurred five years ago and every time
they meet they argue. Paleontologist Professor Dr. Alex
Martinelli detests commercial collector Cassie Ashton
because she buys and sells fossils in the market place.
He thinks of her as the E-Bay of the dinosaur crowd. Deep
inside he envies her uncanny skills in somehow locating
dinosaur bones, but he would never admit that to anyone.
She enjoys their legendary confrontations in a perverse
manner so she always makes them worse than they have to be. This time she has a find that she wants only Alex to know
of and to confirm what she thinks may be an intact infant
T-Rex. This would be the mother lode so Alex agrees to
take a look. Alex and Cassie work out a deal; she takes
him to the spot where he sees nirvana as he affirms the
find. However, someone steals "Trixie" and the two
partners initially suspect the other of a double cross,
but quickly realize a third party is involved. As they
conclude that their years of heated bickering were a
courtship, the in love partners pursue the kidnapped
Trixie. This exciting romantic suspense novel stars two scuffling
dinosaur experts whose exchanges make for a fine tale.
The story line is action-packed, but belongs to the
battling bone hunters whose wars are as legendary as their
finds (think of INDIANA JONES AND THE RAIDERS OF THE LOST
ARK when Jones meets Marion Ravenwood in her remote bar).
As the two near fortyish couple (she has a teenage son)
tries for a cease fire, they soon are jumping each others
bones. Michele Albert provides a fine exhilarating way
out tale of love amongst the dinosaur remains. Harriet Klausner

SummaryONE HEATED RIVALRY...
Sexy renegade treasure hunter Cassie Ashton and hunky by-
the-book paleontologist Alex Martinelli are sworn enemies.
She thinks he's a snooty Ph.D. with a womanizing streak
(and denies his dangerously rugged appeal). He thinks she's
just in it for the money (and pretends he doesn't notice
those legs). Their legendary sparring is the source of much
gossip across the rocky canyons of Wyoming, where they
compete for discoveries. Yet the chemistry between them is
blistering.
ONE DANGEROUS FIND...
To their dismay, Cassie and Alex are forced to team up to
protect Cassie's latest discovery -- a priceless ancient
skeleton. For it quickly becomes clear that someone will
stop at nothing to steal it. Thrown together in the face of
danger, the two rivals try to fight their passionate, long-
suppressed attraction. But sometimes, when you're on the
run and falling in love, there's only...
...ONE WAY OUT
