Under the man's scorching gaze, Shay Randall felt bouts of desperate panic... and an inexpressible shiver of desire. Hostage to a tanned and attractive bandit, she knew that for the sake of her father's well-being she must find a way to salvation. And only later, when the days of her captivity turned into weeks and the burning passion of Rafe Tyler ignited her, the girl fully realized her situation: she was locked in a mountain hideout with a man who could take her heart forever. Punished for a crime he did not commit, Rafe Tyler spent ten years in prison and survived only thanks to his dream - to settle scores with the man who sent him here. However, kidnapping this feisty daughter of Randall was not at all part of his plans. And so Rafe is forced to communicate with this unnecessary hostage, who is afraid of him - and at the same time causes an explosive feeling of hunger, a kind of fever that can not only burn a man’s beliefs, but also turn everything he lived for into ashes...
