Description

Dora Conroy has a passion for antiques - and any other rarities she can acquire for her quaint Philadelphia shop. A seasoned dealer, she knows all the tricks of the trade. But nothing could prepare her for the deadly consequences when she purchases a few curiosities at an auction - and unknowingly brings home a priceless cache that makes her the target of an international smuggler, who will stop at nothing to reclaim his hidden riches. Entwined in a reckless chase, Dora turns to her new tenant, Jed Skimmerhorn, a former cop who's turned in his badge - and whose desire for lovely Dora puts him back in the line that of fire. Fighting their attraction while falling in love, they find that hidden riches can have a most ordinary facade. And that possession can be a lethal obsession....
