SHE’S THE KEY

Museum curator Jillian Talbot has the gift of psychicVase graphic “Sight”, but she never expects it to land her in the middle of a battle for money and power between murderous underground elements.

To stay alive, Jillian must seek the help of a cynical tomb raider, but is he worthy of her trust?

The crystal’s secret is locked inside the eyes of straight-laced Jillian who still believes in doing the right thing. As she and Simon track the mystery deep into Mexico, their desire to stay alive and growing passion for each other makes every move a dance with danger
