A Billionaire Comes Down Hard

Forest ecologist Alixia Sumner has been doing important research in the jungle of Colombia, her life taking a turn for the dramatic when her father disappeared. All this time she's lived with the loss and the perpetual threat of Contador Bashar, local drug kingpin. When suddenly Franklin Costner shows up on her doorstep, she isn't too happy. Especially when he demands her help. Alixia isn't used to being bossed around, so she shoves the business end of her rifle in his face and tells him to take a hike. Roland Thornton is on an undercover mission in Colombia when he stumbles upon Alicia. The feisty environmentalist is one hot little number, and the attraction is both instant and highly inconvenient. Roland has other things on his mind than romance. Survival, for instance, for Bashar's men are hot on his trail. Soon both Alicia and Roland are forced to go on the run, and before long things get very hot indeed, not just with danger lurking at every turn, but from the scorching heat crackling between them. Working side by side, the billionaire enforcer and the quirky scientist have to decide if they're a match made in heaven, or poles apart.
