Her life’s mission. Her heart’s desire.
Riki Maddox is not your average tomb-raiding treasure
hunter. Her targets are carefully chosen to wound her father’s killers, the
Japanese Yakuza. To thwart their quest to recapture World War II loot stolen by
Japanese forces, she puts herself in constant danger—and in the sights of a man
as driven and as daring as she is . . .
Working for the Department of Homeland Security, Special
Agent Dallas Landry is a rare breed: an academic with an unmatched lust for
adventure. He had a perfect success rate recovering stolen art and
antiquities—until he came up against an intriguing menace known
as Riki Maddox.
Now the two will cross paths once again in Australia—on a
quest for the legendary Phantom Pearl, a priceless carved mammoth tusk. But
Riki knows that playing games with a man like Dallas could cost more than just
her freedom. Not only could the federal agent end her quest for revenge, he
could also give her something more to live for . . .

MEET THE AUTHOR
Do you like stories set in unusual or exotic locations? How about unique or interesting occupations? Combine both, wrap them around romance and adventure, and that’s the kind of reading that takes you places!
It’s also a style of writing for Monica McCabe. Always a bit of an adventuress, she’s lived in and explored places like Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Florida, Mexico, California, Maine, Washington, Canada, and yes, even Las Vegas. At every location she seized the opportunity to explore, hike, camp, raft, canoe, fly, ski, scuba-dive, or zip-line. She’s climbed glaciers and ancient Mayan pyramids, dived shipwrecks and reef caves, camped in sasquatch country, drove across the USA three times, and is now working on gathering as many official stamps in her National Park passport as she can. So far, nineteen and counting.
Also an avid reader, the writing bug bit her hard somewhere between Alaska and Montana. Slowing down enough to actually put words on paper took a while longer. She scribbled notes, played at writing a historical romance (her favorite reading), but it wasn’t until she landed in Tennessee that writing became a passion.
Now that she’s sprouted roots alongside her husband of seventeen years, tossed in two lazy cats and two happy dogs, she’s finally turned that wanderlust into crafting stories of adventure and romance. And all that travel and exploration lends realistic detail to her writing. Plus she’s been known to sneak in a bit of her own experience, and a pet or two, because they like the fame.
