Dane Gareis is a wealthy, reclusive young man with a traumatic past, but a spine of steel. When his father, Julius Gareis, is killed in a mysterious plane crash, Dane carries on the family business and continues his passion for the very antiquity that got his father murdered -- a golden sarcophagus belonging to an ancient cult known as the Ydrath. Soon, the Ydrath threaten him as well, and Dane seeks to hire a bodyguard he can trust. Someone who can protect him, and someone who will respect his boundaries. While he gets the first two, the third requirement falls apart when he hires Sean Harding. Sean Harding is an ex-detective with a sixth sense for danger. After his entire unit was murdered in a drug bust gone very wrong, he is a broken man who thinks only of revenge until he takes the job protecting the Gareis CEO. Sean's attraction to the vulnerable Dane gives him new purpose, but his past is not escaped so easily, and his sixth sense tells him that there is more to the Ydrath than even Dane knows. This is the first book in a supernatural/paranormal mysteries series. A lot more to come!… (more)

It started off good. Cops and drug busts. They it all changed to lust. Gazing and fantasying. I think there were 4 masturbation scenes. Why? Couldn’t we invest the time exploring the mystery? I’ll tell you why, because we won’t solve anything in this book.
Hallucinations, men repeatedly blushing, mummies, and a bad cliffhanger.

no I don't think I want to read the second book. Might change my mind one rainy day ( )
