Adventure Lover — Charlene Teglia

To survive, she'll have to keep up with him all day. And all night…

Take Me, Lover, Book 3

Jill Martin loves adventure -- as long as it comes between the covers of a book. Preferably one sporting a bare-chested hero. But to reinvent her faltering travel agency, she needs to start with reinventing herself. Her assignment: a three-day backpacking trip through the Olympic High Divide.

Soon she's forced to cope with bears, blisters, and a basic instinct to get horizontal with her vertical guide. He's as hard as the ground they sleep on and his heart's as icy as the glaciers that surround them. Not a problem, since she's only interested in his body.

Ryan Lowe knows how to read terrain, and Jill's is easy. Soft lips, soft eyes, soft curves, soft muscles. She won't last a day. Plus, if she knew what his imagination was doing with her body right now, she'd turn tail and run. Yet the city girl surprises him with her sheer grit -- and sassy tongue.

When they run into geocachers using the remote location as a drug drop-off, there's only one way to escape -- plunge headlong into the untracked wilderness. As she puts her life in Ryan's hands, Jill wonders if she's in danger of losing something more precious. Her heart.
