Afraid to Hope

By Sutton Bishop

Book Overview

Archaeologist and INTERPOL contractor Dr. Natasha Jordaan is on a dangerous mission to recover artifacts looted from Morocco-the home of her past and her heart. Trained, competent, and proven, the last thing she needs is a brash, infuriating babysitter, no matter how sexy he is.

Former Special Forces operator Bane Rua wants the starched-up professor in every way a man can have a woman, and he always gets what he wants. His duty might be to protect the beautiful doctor and recover the relics, but no one ever said he couldn't have two assignments.

In a country steeped in memories, peril, and buried secrets, every step brings Natasha and Bane closer to the truth-and closer to each other. But when the hunt turns deadly and the past begins to close in, they will have to decide whether the price of desire is worth the risk of survival.

Afraid to Hope is pulse-pounding adventure and romance with suspense and heart. Natasha and Bane's relationship is driven by the constant push-pull between power, desire, and trust-all set against a high-risk mission that forces both of them to change from reluctant allies to something more. The romantic suspense hits harder because every step forward happens under fire-professionally, physically, and emotionally.
