Asher's Invention
by Coleen Kwan
Five years ago, Asher Quigley broke his engagement to Minerva Lambkin,
believing she was an accomplice in a scheme to steal his prototype for a wondrous
device. Minerva swore she was innocent, though the thief—and Asher's mentor—was
her own father. Now, sheer desperation has driven Minerva to Asher's door. Her
father has been kidnapped by investors furious that he's never been able to make
the machine work. Only Asher, now a rich and famous inventor in his own right, can
replicate the device. He's also become a hard, distant stranger far different from
the young idealist she once loved. Despite their troubled past, Asher agrees to help
Minerva. He still harbors his suspicions about her, but their reunion stirs emotions and
desires they both thought were buried forever. Can they rebuild their fragile
relationship in time to save her father and their future together?
