In Manhattan, Karrie Albright of the Sanax Corporation looks forward to working on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade when her boss Malcolm Sandhill informs her that she is representing the firm in Nevada because that is her home state. Sanax owns land that the University of Nevada wants to do a dig for training archeological students. Professor Rob Phillips will head the excavation while Karrie will insure that nothing is found that could prevent the company from making money off this desert property. Karrie and Rod knew one another as back in college. As they reunite, their passion reignites and neither can avoid the physical attraction. Soon they fall in love, but they have different agendas on how to use the Paiute artifacts, which means that when she leaves for New York, their dreams will end. Though the ending seems too simple considering the Hoover Dam could not cover the chasm between them and that an intriguing fortune teller opening subplot is unnecessary, this contemporary turns out to be fun to read. The story line highlights the inferno and the abyss between the likable lead couple. Fans will wonder if Karrie can find in her heart the path to keep forever the "man she does" when he shares her doubts as much as her love. Harriet Klausner
