After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of fieldwork. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, sheâll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isnât an option.
But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when sheâs forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston.Â
For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degreeâand a habit of attracting troubleâhis reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while heâs in Cyprus, and heâll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past.
Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick canât afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.
Field Rules is a second-chance, opposites-attract romance featuring a roguish hero, a fish-out-of-water heroine, and heaps of nerdy archaeological references. It can be read as a standalone.
