Hazardous Assignment

by Lee Stafford

He read the secrets of her soul...

Claire, a journalist, had come to Rio Negro, a small Latin-American nation, to write about Dr. Ashley Wade, a British medical doctor and a lone crusader against the country's grinding poverty and disease.

As she traveled by mule train with him into remote villages, she discovered a man as contradictory as the land itself--abrasive and compassionate, harsh and gentle.

And he seemed to revel in his uncanny ability to bring to the surface memories and feelings she'd long repressed. Her body may have felt battered by the grueling journey, but that was nothing compared to the assault on her emotions!
