Working side by side back in the jungles of Peru, the heat between Sydney and Gunner is hotter than ever--and so are the threats to their lives. With the danger escalating, Sydney knows Gunner is her only hope at successfully completing their assignment. But the ex-SEAL who arouses passion she'd only dreamed about also poses the greatest risk to the secret she carries in her heart ... and in her belly"--Cover verso.
