The life of a paid mercenary makes sense to Special Forces Officer
Winslow Grange. The jungles of South America may make his former job as
a ranch manager for his friend Jay Pendleton look like a cakewalk, but
it's nothing that the former Green Beret can't handle.
A woman's heart, however--that's dangerous territory. Back in Texas,
Grange's biggest problem was avoiding Peg Larson and all the
complications being attracted to the daughter of his foreman would
entail. Now Grange will need all his training to help General Emilio
Machado gain control of the tiny South American nation of Barrera; when
Peg arrives unannounced, she's a distraction he can't avoid. She's
determined to show Grange she can be useful on and off the battlefield.
Once she breaks through his armor, traversing the wilds of the Amazon
will prove an easier task than defending himself against her winning
charms....
