Men weren't to be trusted! After being jilted, wildlife artist Rianna Breece swore that the only species she'd associate with were the four-footed variety she painted. But even the animal kingdom proved menacing. Someone was smuggling endangered species into the States . . . and wasn't about to have Rianna interfere. Bodyguard Ty Toranaga was determined to protect Rianna--even if it meant not giving in to his strong attraction to her. What began as an act of duty was soon transformed by desire into a dangerous liaison. Before long, Ty and Rianna were running for their lives . . . and love.
