Rebecca Mallory is a woman obsessed. She'll do anything to recover the huge family diamond that's in the possession of Edward Emerson, the man she holds responsible for her mother's death.

Jake Crosby is a washed-up, burned-out detective. The last thing he wants is to complicate his life with this leggy blonde and her personal vendetta. He holds Emerson responsible for some personal tragedies as well, but Jake would rather crawl into a hole and forget it than run off on this wild diamond chase.

The sparks ignite between them on first meeting and neither can walk away. The quest for the diamond takes them on an adventure from burglary to kidnapping, from island-hopping to gunfire. And along the way Rebecca learns that her treasure just may be the man himself, the man who's tougher than diamonds.

Contains explicit sex scenes.
