Flirting With Danger

It was a mission impossible. Ever since a tragic accident had cost the lives of friends in the Himalayas, photographer Kate Muldoon had been unable to snap the shutter. Yet her editor at Earth History magazine insisted. Her subject: Dr. Sam Connery. Stubborn, rugged, dedicated, the brilliant geologist mad scientific theories to prove on Mount Saint Helens -- until he developed new ones: that Kate was a know-it-all press photographer and a woman in a man's job to boot. From base camp to the edge of the fiery crater, from the safety of the lodge to the brink of extinction. Kate followed his footsteps, facing her deepest fears, rediscovering her work and her feelings. He was determined to go it alone. She knew she wanted total commitment. Together, from the moment their lips first met, they faced a danger more volatile than a mere volcano.
