No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Mercy Pennington liked to play it safe. Before she opened her cozy secondhand bookstore, she researched her prospects and minimalized her risks. So she never should have handled a rare edition of erotica called the Valley of the Secret Jewels. And she should have locked the door of her shop before Croft Falconer walked in.
Falconer enjoyed violence, not literature--beautifully controlled violence of the Asian martial arts. And he looked fighting mad when he learned Mercy promised Valley of Secret Jewels to another buyer. Falconer argued with her, offering her a small fortune, and then tender seduction. As volatile as a match and dynamite, Mercy and Falconer lit sparks like the Fourth of July. But the real fireworks started when she had discovered he had told her almost everything a woman falling in love wanted to hear. Falconer only forgot to mention one little thing: the secret behind the book of forbidden passion that could get them killed.
Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz dazzles with this thrilling contemporary romance of deadly secrets and desires. When a mysterious man enters a bookshop and demands a rare collection of 18th-century erotica, the owner has no idea that she will soon be a part of his dark and intriguing world. Reissue.
