An archaeologist's discovery has landed her in a hotbed of danger.  An unlikely companion may be her only hope...

 Romance is just a myth for Dr. Helena Thessaylia:  brilliant, beautiful, but hopelessly shy professor of archeology...until a chance meeting with a tough, streetwise attorney just cocky enough to believe he has a chance.  And just smitten enough to show up-uninvited-on her sabbatical in Greece. 

And that's just the first of Helena's surprises.
 
Accompanied by her newfound companion, she discovers an astonishing artifact that will put her on the pages of her own textbooks...and potentially in a hotbed of danger.  It turns out her discovery has unearthed a very dark secret...a secret one powerful man would do anything to hide. 
It's a good thing she has an intense, hard-hitting lawyer on her side.  Helena soon realizes he'll stop at nothing to protect her.  But he has some baggage of his own:  A rough childhood in a bad part of the Bronx and a less-than squeaky-clean past.

Even if the pair escape the land of Odysseus with their lives, higher hurdles lie before them:  Will Helena's handsome esquire conquer her impenetrable shyness?  And will Helena's faith and love inspire him to seek out a different life?
