Charlotte "Charlie" Carver knows she's in trouble when Jackson North shows up at her door in the middle of the night, nearly a year after he unceremoniously broke her heart. She's always suspected her ex had secrets, but she never thought those secrets would put her in danger-until violent men show up right on Jackson's tail, and suddenly she's caught up in an adventure unlike any she ever imagined. 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.

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...

All unaware of the chaos that shall ensue, in only a mere three days time. Their lives will lay on the shoulders of these two unlikely allies.
