From AudioFile:
A rogue FBI agent and a sexy gem-cutter, an abundance of pheromones, and the brutal deaths of several jewel couriers--these are the makings of a juicy plot about the theft of seven spectacular sapphires. Alas, it dribbles into disappointment. Carrington MacDuffie's efforts are superior, but even she can't hide the writing flaws. The dialogue strains credibility. The sexy romance between the special agent and the girl overwhelms the plot. Luckily, MacDuffie makes the trite sound true, and she has an impressive vocal range. She is believably masculine, throatily gruff as needed. Her women never simper unless they're supposed to. The story boasts improbable disguises, devious villains, and some absorbing bits about the trade in precious, semiprecious, and worthless stones. MacDuffie makes it worth a listen.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. Pursued by the FBI. Hunted by an assassin. Kate Chandler's not having a good week. Katherine Jessica Chandler, an up and coming jewel cutter, had been handed the opportunity of a lifetime. Arthur McCloud, one of the foremost collectors of gemstones in the world, commissioned her to cut The Seven Sins--seven extraordinarily rare sapphires worth millions. Kate asked the one man she knew she could trust, Lee, to transport the gems from McCloud's offices in Scottsdale, AZ to her studio in Sanibel Island, FL and back again. Kate was sure this job would do wonders for her reputation in the gem world, until a murderer struck and the Seven Sins disappeared. Who ever was behind the murder and theft would stop at nothing to make his escape, and unless Kate could discover the killer's identity, she would lose not only her career, but her life as well. 416 pages.
