She thought the most difficult thing she’d ever done was survive the rain forest…she was wrong.

Things between Amanda Rush and Nash "Buck" Chaney aren't starting out very well. He's one of two Army Night Stalker helicopter pilots sent to rescue her and the twenty-three kids who have been kidnapped with her. But when the time comes for everyone to get onboard and away from the military rebels who'd driven them deep into the Amazon rain forest, Amanda runs into the trees, instead of at the chopper, forcing Buck to chase her down.

As it turns out, she has a very good reason for not immediately climbing into the helicopter with all the kids....but that doesn't mean she and Buck aren't still stranded in the very hot, very wet, and very uncomfortable rain forest. Not only that, but they have a whole contingent of pissed off rebels who are very determined to find them.

Not on Buck's watch.

Danger's a funny thing. It can either bring people together, or drive them apart. Despite their rocky start, Amanda and Buck find, to their surprise, that they have a lot in common. But once they return home to Virginia they find the danger wasn't left behind in the heat and humidity of the rain forest. Someone went to great lengths to get rid of Amanda, and they're determined to finish what they started.
