Handsome architectural engineer Scout Ritland is the kind of American man who spells trouble. Chantal duPont should know. Yet here she is, home on sultry Parrish Island, setting her sights on another bold Yankee. But this time it's for a good cause: Scout is the one man who can help her village, and she won't let him get the better of her--no matter how much she may want to. Finished with his work on the island, Scout's ready for some recreation--though being kidnapped isn't on his agenda. Yet an abductor as exotic and alluring as Chantal makes it hard to stay angry. Soon he is swept up by her need to help her people--and the role he is to play. But as the play progresses, intrigue, adventure--and desire--burn hotter than the island's volcano.
