Captive Star (Stars of Mithra)

In this novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, diamonds can be a girl’s best friend…or her worst enemy.

Someone had set them both up. Now, handcuffed together, bounty hunter Jack Dakota and bail jumper M. J. O’Leary were on the run from a pair of hired killers. And M. J. wasn’t talking―not even when Jack found a gigantic blue diamond hidden in her purse. Everything told Jack the sexy skip he’d been hired to recover couldn’t be trusted…everything, that is, but his heart.

In this fast-paced second book of Nora Roberts’s Stars of Mithras series, bounty hunter Jack Dakota figures he’s in for an easy assignment when he accepts a job tracking beautiful bail-jumper M.J. O’Leary. His plan is simple: find her, push his way into her apartment, explain the situation, and bring her in.

When M.J., a fifth-degree black belt, misinterprets his intentions and attacks him, Jack is forced to reevaluate his assumptions. Jack and M.J. discover they’ve both been set up. M.J. is no bail-jumper, and whoever put Jack on her trail knows it.

Before they can figure out what’s happening, a goon with a gun–and every intention of shooting M.J.–interrupts their discussion. They join forces to fight him off and escape, but much to the tough-minded M.J.’s annoyance, Jack takes charge of the situation and she finds herself handcuffed to the door handle of his beat-up, souped-up Oldsmobile.

Jack has no intention of letting M.J. go until he gets to the bottom of things. The men on her trail are professionals, and if she’s not directly involved in something illegal, she is involved in something that’s likely to get her killed. The cynical bounty hunter is no knight in shining armor, but he finds himself in the uncomfortable position of protecting her; whatever is happening, M.J. isn’t talking about it.

Searching her belongings, Jack discovers a magnificent blue diamond. M.J. is forced to explain that a friend in trouble sent her the stone for safekeeping. The diamond is one of a priceless trio known as the Stars of Mithras, which her friend was appraising for the Smithsonian. But someone else knows M.J. has it–someone who will stop at nothing to obtain it.

Soon Jack and M.J. are on the run, forced to work together to stay alive in an ever-tightening web of danger and conspiracy complicated by an attraction neither can deny.

Hidden Star (Stars of Mithra)

In this novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, diamonds can be a girl’s best friend…or her worst enemy.

She couldn’t remember a thing, not even who she was. But it was clear Bailey James was in trouble. Big trouble. And she desperately needed private eye Cade Parris to help her find out just what kind. Surely she wasn’t a criminal―but then what on earth was she doing with a bag full of cash and a stunning blue diamond as big as a baby’s fist?

Cade Parris takes one look at the beautiful blond that walks unannounced into his office and falls in love. Unfortunately, the stunning woman is there to hire the handsome private investigator to find a missing person: herself. Fragile and clearly vulnerable, Bailey James doesn’t even know her own name. Nor does she know why she’s carrying a tote bag filled with more than a million dollars in cash, a pistol, and a priceless blue diamond. Fortunately for Cade’s heart, Bailey is as undeniably drawn to him as he is to her. However, neither of them know if she’s free to give her heart. Together they search for clues to her identity in the sweltering heat of Washington, D.C., in July, but unveiling Bailey’s past is hopelessly entwined with the mystery of the diamond, the cash, and the gun. Before Cade can claim Bailey as his own, they must follow a twisted path to a killer and survive a life-threatening attack.
