Needless to say, they don’t like each other at this point, but Grant has a job to do and Jane knows she needs him to survive. In response, Grant gags her, binds her, and throws her over his shoulder. Grant’s late-night rescue attempt leads to a tussle that gets ugly when Jane plants her knee in a place most likely to leave a lasting impression. When we get inside Jane’s head, however, we discover it’s a front she has escape plans of her own.
He assumes she’s a shallow, empty-headed debutante. Grant becomes annoyed when he sees the so-called “hostage” sunning herself in her captor’s back yard as if it were Club Med. An unsavory fellow called Tupelo, who believes Jane knows the location of some top-secret microfilm, is holding her hostage. The story begins with Grant Sullivan, retired military expert and reluctant hero, crouching in the brush of a Costa Rican jungle as he watches Jane Hamilton Greer, whose father has hired Grant to get her safely back to the States. Anyone who’s fantasized about being alone in the wilderness with Indiana Jones will be lost in this tale before you can say “malaria vaccine.” In the market for a Road Romance? Look no further. If there’s a setting more romantic than a savage steamy jungle, I haven’t found it.
