Dark Fire

From Booklist Cindy is worried about her business partner and best friend’s disappearance in Ecuador, so she travels to Quito to find her. Because her wealthy, powerful father insists that she hire a guide, she reluctantly retains the extremely macho Trace, who views her as a spoiled American princess with too much money and no sense. She doesn’t know that her father has offered Trace an astronomical amount of money, and neither knows that Cindy’s father is hoping that Trace will seduce his daughter. He’s bribed men before in the hope of grandchildren. Trace pushes Cindy to the limits of her endurance to make her give up and go home, while fighting his desire for her. Thanks to her father’s meddling, Cindy has doubts about her attraction to men. Sparks and steam abound when these two get together, but will it last? This first hardbound editon of an early Lowell title will please romance fans and showcase the seeds of her later, hugely popular romantic thrillers. --Patty Engelmann Cindy is worried about her business partner and best friend's disappearance in Ecuador, so she travels to Quito to find her.
