Lover in the Rough — Elizabeth Lowell

INTO THE VALLEY OF DEATH . . .

Reba Farrall, connoisseur of jewels, and Chance Walker, a man who searched the world for gems, met in Death Valley--and there they found life. Reba was a treasure beyond price, but the precious tourmalines that tied them together could also drive them apart.

Her love was as clear as the most flawless stone, yet he couldn't see its special beauty until he fled into the depths of the earth, where, even in darkness, each jewel he uncovered made her image burn more brightly in his heart.
