Publisher's Synopsis
She's going to crush his resistance... For Micah, an Earth Elemental, there is too much noise, too much chaos down in the mortal world. He prefers solitude. This mission in the mountains is perfect for him, until a lovely human prospector shows up, and now he can't stay away. He must guard the enemy portal while trying to keep her safe, and trying to keep his hands off her. Because each encounter, each touch, awakens urges he's been denying for decades. But she knows nothing of his kind, the enemy that threatens to destroy the world, or the powers in her own blood. He's going to rock her world... Jade McNally will never fall for a mining partner again, especially not while she's working herself to the bone trying to mine enough gemstones to pay for her mother's care. She doesn't have time to notice the huge muscles, sexy tattoos, or tender heart of the quiet man she's hired to keep away claim jumpers. She notices anyway, and the closer she gets to her mysterious security guard, the more she realizes he has secrets; big ones. However, it turns out the most earth-shattering secret could be inside her.
