Holly Newman has been sent to monitor GlennCorp’s pipeline project to ensure it doesn’t endanger the rainforest. Working with GlennCorp’s two field engineers, Holly approves the proposed route. But trouble-shooter Jake Daniels arrives in Manaus and postpones signing contracts.
Jake has been sent to investigate a money-laundering scheme involving GlennCorp’s two engineers. Jake’s boss suspects Holly is an accomplice and orders Jake to get ‘close’ to her. The last thing Jake needs is to ‘get close’ to a tree-hugging female.
Jake plans to keep an ‘eye’ on Holly. Holly follows Jake into the rainforest to keep an eye on him. Sparks fly. And it has nothing to do with ‘saving the trees’. Being stranded in the back of beyond isn’t what Holly bargained for. Neither was being kidnapped.
Will their misadventures in the dark, mysterious Amazonian Rainforest keep them apart? Or will it be the catalyst that brings them together?

"Hunting? For what?"
"Alligators."
"What! Alligators!" Holly jumped up, rocking the flat boat and bumping into a couple trying to board. Jake grabbed her arm, pulling her back down next to him. The boat rocked back and forth, then steadied.
"This is a joke, right?" she hissed in his ear. She didn't want to know the answer. No way was she intentionally going out hunting for reptiles in the middle of the night.
"Nope. No joke. Come on, it's perfectly safe."
"Right!"
Before she could disentangle herself from his strong hold and step out of the boat, everyone was seated and the boat was pushed away from shore. The small motor kicked in and they were off.
