The Golden Leopard

the long version

The Big Cat Trilogy #1 Lady Jessica Carville wants nothing to do with men after having her heart betrayed. Despite society's disapproval, she has found fulfillment and success as a dealer of rare antiquities for Christie's auction house in London. The last thing she needs is for the scoundrel who once cast her aside to rear his handsome head -- however, Lord Hugo Duran's sudden return from India piques her curiousity, as does his tempting offer. And now she's involved in a quest full of daring adventure, dangerous intrigue, and unbridled passion.
