Description
A cowboy willing to risk his life to keep a promise. Abel Courte doesn't believe in myth and tall tales. He likes science and hard facts, but the shocking discovery of a legendary jewel that can cure any disease known to man forces him to re-examine everything he thought was true. Especially with the life of his beloved uncle on the line. Abel will do anything to get what he needs to find the Diamond of Uktena…even if it is reputed to be stuck in the forehead of giant mythical serpent. Even if it means traveling via airship to Dakota Territory with a stubborn redhead who thinks he's only in the journey for money. An adventurer's daughter determined to live up to her father's name. Romy Farrington grew up traveling at the side of her world-famous archeologist father, exploring new lands and uncovering ancient secrets. It was everything she ever wanted, until a near fatal encounter with natives forced them into a life of retirement in Boston and an undesired advance into proper society. Her father insists this is their life now, until he agrees to one more expedition -- that involves hunting a Native American legend. When he refuses to allow Romy to go, her only choice is to team up with Abel and get the Diamond first before it falls into the wrong hands. A legend that will bind them together.
