Synopsis (Goodreads):
Three months ago, amber tuner and independent prospector Lyra Dore made the find of the decade in an underground rain forest: amethyst ruins. But the very man she was dating stole her claim -- and her heart. At least she has her artistically talented dust bunny, Vincent, to comfort her...

Amber Inc. CEO Cruz Sweetwater never meant to hurt Lyra. His affinity for obsidian amber gives him the ability to sense that she is his true love. But the ruins have mysterious powers, putting everyone involved with the project in danger. Only by trusting their psychic instincts will Cruz and Lyra survive -- and surrender to the desire that binds them.
Thoughts on Obsidian Prey: Okay. So I'm backtracking a little reading-wise (because I read this series out of order for reasons unknown to me) and I'm meeting the Sweetwater clan. Well, mostly we're meeting Cruz, but his family is hovering on the periphery. Lamenting his broken-hearted state. Family, amirite?!?!

But before we get to the family aspect, let's talk about Lyra and Cruz. She was burned by the Sweetwaters - specifically, Cruz - after they stole her claim out from under her and she's made no bones about what they did. She's been shouting it from the rooftops and into the ears of the media since it happened. Which makes things a little difficult for Cruz since he really only did what he did to keep her safe. Not that she knew that at the time, but there you go.

Which means he had a rough road ahead of him when it came to convincing her he really only had her best interests at heart. Also, the fact that she's the only person in the area who can work amethyst amber and he needs her for a job makes things look even more suspect. But the guy has guts and intuition and he sets out to prove whatever Lyra needs him to prove so she'll give him another chance.

A little danger, a case of side-dealing, a couple of scorching kisses, and a family that bemoans Cruz's broken heart whenever they get the chance. Which, for the record, Lyra doesn't appreciate. Good stuff!
