Unearthed — Ann B. Morris

At an archaeological dig to unearth a Native American artifact, the site is vandalized and Professor Alexandra Kingsley's safety is threatened. The first person under suspicion is contractor Becker St. Romaine whose land deal was cancelled because of its proximity to the project. To prove his innocence and to protect Alex as the threats to her life escalate, Beck refuses to leave her side until the guilty party is caught. From Alex and Beck's first encounter, an emotional bond is formed that evolves into a no-strings attached romance. When the culprit is finally caught and they both escape a life-or-death situation, will Alex and Beck go their separate ways as planned, or will they make a commitment for a future together?
