The Bastard's Key: The Golden Scepter

Heath goes on a blind date set up by busy-body co-worker Violet Tryon. Sexy and mysterious, Anton Barrett captivates Heath and asks him out for a second date. But things quickly go awry when a boulder crashes their picnic, and Heath's apartment building blows up.

Now homeless, Heath turns to Anton for help, and finds himself in the middle of a family vendetta against his branch of the Hapsburg royalty.

Pursued by a man in a black trench coat, Heath, Anton, and Violet race from Paris to the Orient Express, Austria, and Switzerland in a scramble against time to find the treasure and save Heath's life.
