When an exquisitely crafted, authentic imperial Faberge egg mysteriously shows up at Laurel Swann's home studio, she knows it can only be from one person--her father, who has drifted in and out of her life for as long as she can remember. But this time Jamie Swann leaves her something too many people will kill for. Out of her league and desperate, Laurel is forced to accept help from the very man who is trying to ensnare her father in his own web of double crosses. Cruz Rowan can help her stay alive, but will he do the same for her father Elizabeth Lowell, writing as Ann Maxwell, deftly combines the nonstop action of a spy thriller with the heart-pounding excitement of true love and adventure.
An exciting read with fast moving action. It has an alpha male as the hero and a strong female for the heroine. The action keeps going with a wide range of characters whose motives are never pure or obvious until the end. It all ends very romantically. However I was disappointed that it was not the new novel that I had anticipated. I had read the book some years ago under its previous title of 'Ruby'. The fact it was a rewrite was not made clear when I saw the book advertised.

This was called The Ruby when it first came out. Very good book though.
