Secrets
A PEARL BEYOND PRICE

Laura Jackway sought perfection in every aspect of her life.  She was content to spend her time developing the most flawless gem known to man:  the pearl.  Living with the world but not in it, Laura never sought excitement -- or love.

Then her solitude was disrupted by high-powered businessman Nick Langg, who needed Laura to test his secret formula for rare black pearls.  Soon, Nick was more interested in winning Laura's heart than in the experiment's success.  He wanted only to erase the scars of the past, to keep her safe.  But someone suspected what Nick and Laura were up to -- and would stop at nothing to destroy their dreams.
