Kerry Bishop was desperate. She needed to find someone--anyone--who could help her lead her young charges throught the dangerous Montenegro jungles. Linc O'Neal had seemed the perfect candidate. Only, he wanted no part of the deal.

Taking care of his own risky business was proving trouble enough. He loathed the idea of escorting nine orphans a prim do-gooder on their hazardous escape. But Kerry needed him. And Linc discovered he wanted her more than reason...

HER PLAN WAS FOOLHARDY

But if it was the only way to save nine children, then she would try.

HE HADN’T STAYED ALIVE BY BEING MR. NICE GUY

He was the most disreputable and dangerous-looking man in the bar. That’s why she wanted him.

THEY WERE UNDER FIRE

Together they fought the odds…and the burning

hungers that made the steamy days and nights

doubly dangerous….
