Then the subject of her dissertation, a priceless Maya artifact, is stolen. With the help of her enigmatic research partner, Yolandra, and her very attractive, very exasperating fellow grad student, Nick, Catherine traces the stolen vase to a notorious antiquities forger in Mexico.

On a trip to the Yucatán littered with pampered tourists and greedy collectors, Catherine’s closest ally is Nick, whose sincerity and principles are nearly as unhelpful as her growing attraction to him. Will she risk her integrity to achieve her dreams? Or will her ambitions (and love life) end in a tank of cheap wine and bad decisions?
