Ryker: 6 (Mavericks)

After his last assignment Ryker is ready for a rest. And he gets it-but only a few hours ...Thats even too long for a geologist kidnapped by guerrillas in the Colombia jungle. Ryker has plenty of experience in jungles around the world but keeping Manila safe-along with the two men shes traveling with and their injured guide-exposes them for who they are. It quickly becomes apparent under these most gruelling conditions which of her party steps up and which plan to step out.Manilas life has become one of never-ending misery at the hands of her captors as they await word from their bosses who decide her ultimate fate. That shes hunting platinum doesnt matter to them. Nor that shes fighting against the invasive illegal gold mining taking over parts of the area. When Ryker rescues her from her prison tent she places her trust in his ability to get her and her team safely away. Not yet realizing shed be gifting him both her body and her heart too.Ryker needs to keep them all alive and together long enough to get them out of this hellhole-hopefully alive...
