Jackson has never been able to forget Charlie, the only woman he's ever loved. He'd do anything to protect her--but he'd also do anything to help his team find the fortune hidden by eccentric billionaire Vincent Rinaldi. Unfortunately, the key to finding Rinaldi's fortune rests in a gift Jackson gave Charlie back when they were together, and now she's tangled up in his dangerous life whether he likes it or not.
Soon, they're on a wild chase through Croatia's islands with Jackson's teammates, the notorious Devil's Set. Career treasure hunters, the Set has seen their share of danger and adventure, but they've never encountered a hunt like this.
As they pursue the ultimate treasure, Jackson and Charlie face one danger after another-but the biggest threat might be the one targeting their hearts. Neither wants to admit that there's still a sizzling connection between them, but sometimes, the hunt is too intoxicating to resist...
MEET THE DEVIL'S SET: Treasure hunters. Adventurers. Bad boys.
A second chance at love has never been this dangerous...
