Nate Murdock has made a big discovery of ancient stone carvings that will get his name out there. They are a wonderful find. He hires Alex Martin to photograph them for him. What he doesn't expect is Alex to be a she. She is the daughter of a famous photographer out to make her mark. She should already be well known since her dad stole some of her pictures and won awards for them. Now she just has to convince Nick she is up for the job so she can prove to everyone she is good at what she does. They stumble across drug smugglers and get trapped in a cave. As they have to learn to work together the spark between them grows to something more. They have to find a way out of the cave before it is to late. They have some help in the form of spirits and they learn more about the carvings. Distrust and tempers just may keep them from becoming more.This is a quick interesting read. I enjoyed the plot and I will say the characters felt very real. Why because they both have faults. I like when the characters aren't perfect. Nate has a temper and at times can seem sexist even when he doesn't mean to be. Alex is great at her job and not afraid to take chances. However her past with her dad has left her not trusting anyone. She has a temper and is quick to walk away in a huff. The paranormal spirits are a great touch. I like their story and wish we had seen more of them. This book has plenty of sizzle as Nate and Alex both are attracted to each other but fight it at first. They both grow and change as the book progresses and I like the ending. This is a good stand alone book.
