Publisher's Synopsis
Rip-roaring contemporary romantic suspense/travelogue in an exotic land. Cornucopia of the sights, scents, sounds and flavors of Lands of the Morning. Olivia Hayden, 24, traveling to Turkey to fulfill her late grandfather's dream of visiting ancient Troy, falls in love with Dr. Somer Berk, 35, a professor of archaeology. Tall, blond and suave, Berk claims descent from the original Trojans, and is hot on the trail of smugglers dealing in artifacts that harkens to the famous Treasure of King Priam, of the Iliad. Hayden and Berk take to each other immediately, and with events unfolding at the speed of Orient Express on steroids, it's impossible to deny the destiny that demands fulfillment. It's a hot, tense, mid-summer, with terrorists of different agendas, bombing England and Turkey. Olivia Hayden, American, and Somer Berk, Turk, although bound by relentless physical desire, and the love of Troy and its legacy, find themselves battling separation by culture and outlook on life.
