Alexandra Dark lives a commitment-free life. In pursuit of lost treasure, she travels the world as an archaeologist, and it's her policy to never put down roots--and to never linger for long in any woman's bed. But when her sister convinces her to flip a rundown house in Niagara Falls, Alex finds herself caught in the middle of a mystery, and she's too curious to leave town before the case is solved. With sexy librarian--and amateur ghost hunter--Trudy Strange by her side, Alex attempts to unravel the clues hidden in the hundred-year-old house, and to restructure her long-held beliefs about life, love, and everything after. In their quest to reveal the secrets haunting the old Victorian, Alex and Trudy uncover a long-buried romance--and succumb, mind, body and soul, to the intense feelings that they have for each other. But will their new-found trust be strong enough to protect them from the dark force lurking, lying in wait? CROSS MY HEART is a sexy, funny, romantic romp, a tribute to the healing power of love.
