About this audiobook
Diamonds ruined his life and he’s on a path of revenge. Until the day a protective zoologist stood in his way, forcing a choice he never intended to make.
Driven: Miranda Parrish is a world-renowned veterinarian specialist with expertise in endangered species. She’s fearless and will go anywhere an animal is in need. But when she journeys to Katanga, an animal sanctuary in the heart of Botswana, she falls into a diamond smuggling operation and interferes with an undercover investigation.
Merciless: Special agent Matt Bennett’s parents were murdered by a ruthless arms dealer when he was fourteen. He’s fiercely committed to avenging their deaths and curbing the cycle of violence threatening southern Africa. Diamonds always lead to weapons and he’d followed the trail straight to Katanga. Posing as an employee, he had every intention of busting the source wide open.
Collision: He never expected to battle a stubborn vet, one who let nothing stand in the way of protecting her clientele. When she comes between him and the vengeance he craves, sparks begin to fly. Surrounded by veiled threats, Matt and Miranda must find common ground in order to save Katanga, and both of their lives, before justice slips away.
Diamond Legacy is the first stand-alone book in the Jewel Intrigue series and an unlikely romance between two opposites. It keeps you turning pages with high risk and daring action, a klepto monkey named Roz, and a charismatic secondary character that threatens to steal the show.
Editor's Note
High-Stakes Romantic Suspense...
McCabe’s “Jewel Intrigue” series starts off with “Diamond Legacy,” where a veterinarian specialist and a special agent team up in a high-stakes romantic suspense thriller. McCabe’s writing is sharp and witty, and the action is fast-paced.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Would have been an interesting story but I couldn’t get over the repeated references to Africa as if it were a single entity or culture, describing the people and customs as “natives,” and the generally one-dimensional and often stereotypical depiction of Africa and African characters.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was more fun than I anticipated ~ maybe one of the best romantic adventure romps I’ve encountered in a long time. Great characters, believable emotional change, fun location, steamy romance, decent action-adventure. Really looking forward to the next two stand-alone installments.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was one of the best books that I have heard. It's not my normal read as I like paranormal books, but I truly enjoyed it.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a great story and a very enjoyable read. I loved all the characters including the animals. The book contained all of the range of emotions from a little revenge, laugh out loud humor, multiple love interests, danger and so much more! The narrator was ok but reading all the male parts with several different accents was sometimes hard to follow and she didn't have a very male sounding voice in any of them. I will definitely be checking out other stories by this author. To the author, thank you for the wonderful 2 day escape, yes, it was that good!
