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 infuriatingly 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 . . .

Author Info
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.
