Description:

Jewel Johanssen had run from her marriage eight years before, and made a new life for herself. She's now a doctor with the GAO (Global Aid Org) and her mission is to provide care for the indigenous people of Brazil. The last person she thought she'd ever see again, esp. in the Brazilian jungles was Roque Aguiar Da Costa her ex-husband. Only according to Roque he never divorced her, and he's taking over the GAO mission. When Jewel threatens to leave the mission, Roque declares that he has enough power with the GAO to make sure she'll never have another mission in Brazil. Working so closely together, Roque quickly realizes he's under estimated Jewel's dedication to her work, and that their chemistry is even more explosive now than it was eight years before. He needs to get her out of his system, so he begins his seduction. Jewel bears deep emotional scars from the loss of their baby years ago, and the secret that she can't bear children is one that bolsters her resolve not to lose herself to Roque again.
