A tall, dark, and handsome stranger (Ward Levitt) shows up at Verna Pemberton's flat in England and tells her he knows her father. Verna sends him away. Her father died when she was just a baby and she doesn't know what Ward is talking about. But Ward comes back and persuades Verna otherwise.

Ward tells Verna he can take her to meet her father. So she goes to Brazil with Ward. They arrive in Rio and prepare to fly to Belém the next day to where Verna's father lives. But on the flight to Belém they experience engine trouble and have to make a crash-landing. Stranded in the jungle with a broken down plane Ward and Verna encounter Indians, insects, alligators... Verna wonders if they will ever make it out alive to meet her father...

Ward thought of Verna as a firecracker. She was headstrong, very independent, and self-confident. At first she was shrewish, cranky, and argumentative. But she had to learn to rely on Ward to get her through and as the story progressed I thought she did very well in the jungle, during rough situations. I liked Ward, he was the typical Harlequin alpha-male hero, self-assured, strong, and bossy. I enjoyed the tropical setting of this book.

This was a fun jungle romance by Margaret Mayo. ( )

Book description
No doubt about it, Verna was inhibited

She'd always kept her relationships with men light, friendly. Whenever stronger feelings threatened, her mother's biased cautions would come back to save her.

But Verna had never before met anyone like Ward Levitt--handsome and compelling. True, she was excited at the thought of meeting the father she'd thought was dead--yet it was Ward's magnetic personality that overcame her reluctance to journey to Brazil.

She kept telling herself she hated him....
