RED-HOT ROMANCE GOES ON SAFARI
English
conservationist, Caro Hannah, and South African, Ben Duval, must work together
on a project to introduce endangered wild dogs to an African game reserve, four
years after their love affair ended. The challenges of their profession pale
into insignificance beside the personal obstacles they must overcome in order
to either bring closure to the events of four years before, or reignite a
passion hot enough to burn up the African bush.
The Alpha Match is the first in a series set in the African bush
where luxury tented camps and romantic hideaways are havens for royals,
celebrities and the adventurous at heart. The Untamed Safari Series places
unforgettable men and women in this captivating setting and holds its breath as
they play out their red-hot passions.

EXCERPT
Caro was aware that her voice was rising, but she could do nothing to
stop it. Now was as good a time as any to speak her mind. ‘As a matter of fact,
if you could stop all the wars on this planet, solve world hunger and reverse the effects of global
warming, I’d still feel nothing for
you.’
It was the briefest look of pain flitting across his face that silenced
her. Then his mouth hardened and his eyes blazed. ‘I’m your boss, Caro.’ He
spoke very slowly, his voice vibrating deep in his throat. ‘All I’m asking from
you is some respect. Your unwillingness to greet me at the meeting today; that
wasn’t very mature, was it? How far do you think we’ll get on this project if
that’s the way things are going to be between us?’
Caro was stung. ‘If you think I’m going to be anything other than
professional, then you really don’t know me at all. I’ve worked for five years to save the African wild dog
and I’d never do anything to
jeopardise this project.’
‘Oh, I believe you,’ Ben said. ‘Nobody knows better than I do just how
ambitious you really are. As a matter of fact, what was I thinking? Of course
you’d never let anything get in your way, least of all other people’s
feelings.’
Caro gaped.
He leaned towards her. ‘I’m right, aren’t I, Caro?’
Again he stared into her eyes, his own narrowed and filled with fire.
She could see the cords of muscle beneath the golden skin of his neck.
Her breath came in small, silent gasps, and she pressed a hand to her chest.
Ben’s gaze travelled slowly from her face to the hand against her naked
skin. He opened his mouth, closed it again. His body tilted towards her, his
fingers heading for the bunch of towel between her breasts. Then he snatched
his hand back, shook his head, turned and started for the door.
