Synopsis

The New York Times bestselling Montgomery/Taggert Family series returns with a sizzling romance “packed full of warmth, humor, sensual tension, and exciting adventure” (RT Book Reviews) about a New York businesswoman on the run in Florida after being falsely accused of murder.

A rising star at a Manhattan corporation, Fiona Burkenhalter is a New Yorker through and through and when her boss inexplicably sends her to handle a new account in the Florida Everglades, it may as well be another planet. But this is no ordinary business meeting: Fiona is to join her client on a rustic fishing expedition, accompanied by a guide with the larger-than-life name of Ace Montgomery.

More than a little steamed at this detour from the executive fast track, Fiona never imagined that she’d embarked on the wildest adventure of her life—or that the rough-hewn, undeniably handsome Ace Montgomery from the Southern backwoods would become her closest ally. But hair-raising circumstances pull her deep into trouble from the moment she steps off the plane. Only in the heart of the swamplands could she get lost in a maze of intrigue and become the prime suspect for a shocking murder with Ace as her presumed accomplice. Suddenly, they discover that they have inherited the murder victim’s vast fortune and they are now Florida’s most wanted couple!

Now, with their lives and hearts on the line, they turn up the heat in their desperate search for a killer.

I loved this story - I couldn't put down this book until I finished it. Just funny, heartwarming story. Highly recommend it!

Goodreads review by Julie on June 18, 2009

Normally I like Jude Deveraux books, they're entertaining and are generally fun stories. Having said that I have to say I pretty much hated this book. Fiona is annoying, Ace is a jerk, and the story is so convoluted with supportive characters it's almost impossible to tell what is really going on. T......more

Oh Jude D, I love that all your books are EXACTLY the same formula. If you changed something it would destroy my world. God forbid the man and woman who hate each other at the start aren't madly in love by the end.......more

Al principio el libro es entretenido, los protagonistas se encuentran, hay un asesinato y deben huir de la justicia, sin ser culpables.

Goodreads review by Anna on November 29, 2021

One of judes more confusing novels, and yet another murder mystery element involved. Fiona Burkenhalter is a New York executive, who gets personally invited on a fishing trip in Florida by a man named Roy Hudson. As far as Fiona knows she has no connection to this man and doesn’t know why she was in......more

Goodreads review by Martin on April 17, 2022

Don't start this one unless you have time to finish it. The rest of your life could suffer. Our heroine is sent to Florida for a three-day fishing trip with a man she's never met. She's a marketing executive in the Big Apple. With a healthy fear of crocodiles. Or is that alligators? Do the red soles......more
