Livi Talbot

EX-DEBUTANTE. SINGLE MOTHER. TREASURE HUNTER. Disowned and left penniless for getting pregnant at seventeen, former celebutante Olivia Talbot was willing to do whatever it took to provide for her daughter…including become a treasure hunter. Since the Pulse hit, activating relics of legend, there are plenty of artifacts to be had—not to mention wealthy clients willing to pay top dollar for them.

After nearly losing her family and her life, Olivia Talbot is trying to leave the world of artifact hunting behind. But an adrenaline junkie unsuited for a 9 to 5 job can’t hide herself forever, especially when deadly operative Dale West comes knocking with off-book work for his covert organization.

Livi Talbot successfully killed the afreet who abducted her family...then she took over his villa and made it her base of operations/home, as any respectable treasure hunter in need of better digs is wont to do. But isolated in the house by a violent snowstorm, Livi is trapped with a dark force gathering strength by the hour, threatening not only the safety of her family but her very sanity.

CAT BURGLARY. TOMB RAIDING. TREASURE HUNTING. ALL PART OF THE GAME. At the end of a well-earned vacation, Livi Talbot is ready for more work. She just didn’t expect “work” to be a call from a friend suffering a small case of blackmail. One short Australian heist later, a simple retrieval becomes a tangle of sacred mountains, dangerous tombs, and life-threatening danger.

For Livi Talbot, of course even an ordinary first date is going to end badly.

A supernatural weapons dealer and his army of mercenaries are at their heels to complicate things, as is someone from West’s past who makes Livi question their potential future. She’s always been slow to trust, but believing in West might be the only way they survive. If his lies don’t get her killed first.

Livi wants to be anywhere but home, and a trip with her family to Peru is just what she needs to clear her head—even if it involves reconnecting with her mom. But a heartbroken adventurer is a distracted one, making Livi the perfect target for supernatural guardians in the jungle…and more danger from those closest to her that she might not see until it’s too late.

Livi Talbot is no longer the woman she once was. She has suffered great loss. She has been betrayed. And after failing to stop the greatest villain she has ever faced, she's determined to never be blindsided again.
