"'Princess.' He leaned down, his voice a whisper in her ear. 'Let me be your knight. Please?'"
Shall we back up to the beginning of the story?
Antiquities professor Bryan Wright and museum exhibit designer Sophie Chapman meet in Maine, in the pouring rain, over a borrowed umbrella. At the time, they had no idea they were heading to the same restaurant, to eat with the same people.
Fast forward . . . they converge again just a few days later in Germany so that Bryan can preview a recently acquired collection at the museum where Sophie is employed; the items having been famously looted from the National Museum in Iraq. Having a brother in national intelligence makes Bryan's curiosity about the items go deeper than anyone, including Sophie, could be made aware. Fasten your seat belt, hang on for the ride, a damsel in distress, knight-in-shining-armor kind of story is about to begin!
What I loved most about this book was the fact that in spite of (and maybe because of) the forcible momentum of the plot, the sweetness of Sophie and Bryan's budding relationship was never overshadowed or diminished. Snatches of conversation were intentional and meaningful, the spiritual elements proving to be faith building for characters and readers alike for, "The mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."
"Surround us with Your warrior angels, Lord. We need you." Sophie and Bryan, through no fault of their own, end up in an impossible situation. Enjoy reading how the God of "nothing is impossible" shows up.

BackCover Blurb:
Don't miss this race-against-the-clock story of suspense and intrigue from a USA Today bestselling author.
One obscure Babylonian artifact in the hands of terrorists could bring down an entire city…
When antiquities professor Bryan Wright is tasked with discovering why a band of terrorists might target a museum in Munich, he teams up with the museum’s attractive exhibit designer to study their ancient artifacts. Something in this collection holds special value to the terrorists, and Bryan must figure out which item and why—before enemies get their hands on it.
An American living in Munich, Sophie Chapman wouldn’t have expected to be attracted to a musty old antiquities professor—but this guy is neither musty nor old. Even so, she’s not ready for a new boyfriend, considering she hasn’t figured out how to get rid of the old one. When her apartment is broken into, she has bigger worries than the ex who won’t leave her alone.
The seemingly random break-in is anything but. Terrorists are closing in, and their plot will destroy more than the romance growing between Bryan and Sophie.
It’ll destroy everything they hold dear.
Terrorism, romance, and a 20-year-old mystery with shades of Raiders of the Lost Arc thrown in. The stakes couldn't be higher as evil men plot to take down their enemies--and any innocent civilians who get in their way. And that's just one part of their plan.
