About this item
A cowboy willing to risk his life to keep a promise. Abel Courte doesn't believe in myth and tall tales. He likes science and hard facts, but the shocking discovery of a legendary jewel that can cure any disease known to man forces him to re-examine everything he thought was true. Especially with the life of his beloved uncle on the line. Abel will do anything to get what he needs to find the Diamond of Uktena ... even if it is reputed to be stuck in the forehead of giant mythical serpent. Even if it means traveling via airship to Dakota Territory with a stubborn redhead who thinks he's only in the journey for money. An adventurer's daughter determined to live up to her father's name. Romy Farrington grew up traveling at the side of her world-famous archeologist father, exploring new lands and uncovering ancient secrets.
About the Author
A life-long love of reading turned Allison Merritt into an author who writes historical, paranormal and fantasy romances, often combining the sub-genres. She lives in a small town in the Ozark Mountains with her husband and dogs. When she's not writing or reading, she hikes in national parks and conservation areas.
Allison graduated from College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri with a B.A. in mass communications that's gathering dust after it was determined that she's better at writing fluff than hard news.
