title: Captive Treasure
author: Carlyle, Tena
description: SHE NEEDED HIM
  Daughter of the noted archaeologist Charles Cecil Meriweather, Baltimore beauty Constance Meriweather was determined to retrieve the Aztec treasure her father had found in Mexico and open a museum in his memory. All she needed was an assistant...preferably an absent-minded, bespectacled scientist who'd be happy to follow orders. But when tall, ruggedly handsome Hale Wyndham answered her ad, Constance knew that she was about to uncover more than the artifacts of the past. As Hale drew her into his arms in a first fiery kiss, she felt the stirrings of a passion that would surely lead to the hidden treasure of rapturous love...and the heated caresses of newly awakened desire!
  
  HE WANTED HER
  For British archaeologist Hale Wyndham, the advertisement to accompany a well-known American colleague on a "dig" in Mexico was a godsend. He'd heard about the lost Aztec riches, and he couldn't wait to take part in the expedition. But when he arrived in America and found that "C. C. Meriweather" was a beautiful but stubborn woman with hair the color of a bright copper penny and skin like a sun-warmed peach, he was outraged. He was a scientist, not a nursemaid! Then he looked into Constance's deep green eyes...and had a change of heart. He'd sail with her to Mexico, and discover two kinds of treasure -- ancient gold and the hidden secrets of Constance's lovely body. He'd awaken her with kisses, warm her with wild caresses, then join with her in ecstasy's ultimate embrace under a blazing tropical sky.
