Risk It All

In the danger of the jungle, I'll have to risk my life and my heart to survive.

There isn't a woman in the world who wouldn't want to get up close and personal with sexy, self-made billionaire bachelor, Max Delecoeur.

Everyone woman except me.

I know all too well about men like Max; Rich. Handsome. Egos the size of Mt. Everest.

And so greedy that they'll do anything and hurt anyone to achieve profits.

Sure he acts horrified when I accuse his business of practices that hurt children a world away, but I don't for a minute believe he really cares.

I have little faith that he'll do anything to change, even when he agrees to accompany me to Africa so he can see firsthand who he does business with.

But as we traipse through the jungle to expose child labor atrocities and avoid poachers, it isn't just my life that's in danger.

Max Delecoeur is exactly the man I'd dreamed of finding before I learned that fairy tales were lies.

The more time I spend with him, the more danger I risk to my heart.

I can't afford to fall in love again no matter how generous his soul or skilled his hands are when he touches me.

I want to believe he's the man who can love me for who I am, but to do that, I'll have to risk it all.
