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.
