Led Astray


Book Description

Led Astray Cage Hendren had chased, and caught, more than his share of women, but he loved only one -- the quiet and serious Jenny Fletcher. A natural born hell-raiser, danger followed him like a shadow. But tragedy struck too close to home when his brother was killed in Central America, leaving behind his broken-hearted fianc�e -- the one woman Cage had always wanted. He was about to make the biggest play of all -- one that could cost him much more than his heart. Devastated when her fianc� Hal travels to Central America to pursue his dreams only never to be seen again, Jenny Fletcher experiences one night of true passion with Hal's enigmatic brother Cage and ends up pregnant, and Cage will do anything to convince Jenny that he is the perfect man for her. The Devil's Own Kerry Bishop was desperate. She needed to find someone -- anyone -- who could help her lead her young charges through the dangerous Montenegro jungles. Linc O'Neal had seemed the perfect candidate. Only, he wanted no part of the deal. Taking care of his own risky business was proving trouble enough. He loathed the idea of escorting nine orphans a prim do-gooder on their hazardous escape. But Kerry needed him. And Linc discovered he wanted her more than reason... From the start, Kerry Bishop anticipated danger: She expected unimaginable fear. In a terrifying race to save nine children, she prepared for the fight of her life. But she wasn't prepared for a passion almost as dangerous as the mission she had undertaken.
