Archaeologist Beck isn't expecting much to come out of this summer's dig. While his colleague spends the summer in Italy, Beck draws the short straw supervising a group of archaeology students excavating on the grounds of Hartington Hall in Yorkshire. Little does Beck realize when he saves a blonde from the attentions of an amorous ram, that this accident-prone female will throw his ordered life into chaos. The last thing Flick needs in her life is a digger, because some secrets are meant to stay buried. Very deep. But Beck is irresistible. She'd love to get him into bed, though after the incident at the swimming pool, the collapsing wall, the snake bite and the unexploded bomb-a hospital bed looks more likely. As their relationship lurches from one disaster to another, Beck has to delve deep to get to the bottom of this irrepressible female. One thing is clear-you never know quite what you're going to find when you start digging.
