...the most staggeringly beautiful thing I've ever

In this excerpt, Gemma lays eyes for the first time on the opalised plesiosaur that she's been sent to acquire for Museum Australasia. It's a one-of-a-kind treasure and she realizes she'll do anything to save it from being dismantled and sold off as opal pieces. She's even prepared to play nice with Jamie, the man who discovered the fossil. Her first love. The same man who abandoned her seven years ago. And the father of her young son - though Jamie doesn't know it. The old pull is still there for them both, but Jamie has always been a dreamer and pragmatic Gemma can't make herself believe that dreams CAN come true.
