Alone, Kiera Hunter arrives in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to be greeted with a monsoon, a runaway tuk tuk and two thieves who attack her to steal her belongings. They get her suitcase but she wrestles for the backpack as if her life depended on saving it....and it does. Her future plans anyway. It holds the answer to a secret that her dying Grandfather made her promise to find. Unfortunately, this treasure is hidden deep in the jungles off the Ho Chi Minh trail where humans just aren't welcome. The prize, an icon of a woman on an elephant, Trung Trac, the greatest female warrior in Southeast Asian history is priceless and the Buddhists have long given up hope it still exists. There is only one man Kiera can trust to help her retrieve this statue--to even get her to her destination and to the contents from her grandfather's ancient plane crash. His name is Porter Vale. The minute they meet chemistry sparks and the conflicts begin. Seems there's two other rich dudes who want to get to the plane also, and they'll go to any extremes to get what they want. This adventure is reminiscent of an Indiana Jones movie with the same engaging characters and the typical following of explosive action. This wonderful story never gets boring. It's written so well that before the reader is aware, you're pulled into the exciting adventure and the pages just keep turning. Who cares about anything like sleep or work!! :-)With lines like: "I reserve hate for evil people. If you get me killed I might change my mind. Until then you're just a real pain in the as-!"  I found this to be one of my favorite romance/adventure books in a long while. Hope there's more to follow!!
