Artemis (Artie) Bevaqua began the summer as a normal English Professor in a Midwestern city. Well, with the exception of one little secret that had never been a problem before. But by the end of the summer, she had destroyed one pharmaceutical laboratory, killed several bad guys, been kidnapped and shot at by numerous men in black, fallen in love with an enigmatic veterinarian, and turned the big 3-0. Caleb Campbell was on a desperate search to save his family when he met the clumsy, but irresistible woman who just might have more secrets than he does. Being in her company goes from steamy to dangerous to baffling and back to steaming with the regularity of a clock’s pendulum. And she seems to be right in the middle of his riddle—but whose side is she really on? Can either one of them survive the well-financed enemies they are attracting? And if they both survive, will they be able to survive each other?
