But the deputy sherrif fought his obsession, believing, from bitter experience, that his native heritage put the beautiful geologist out of his reach. Now Kerry wanted him to guide her through Nevada's Black Rock Desert. Just the two of them..." "Check-out: Kerry was determined to find the treasure her parents had died trying to reach - to put the past behind her before saying yes to a fiance she felt obligated to marry. But, once alone with John, Kerry could no longer deny what her heart had always known. John loved her...and he was the only man she'd ever wanted."
