Angol
She thought the most difficult thing she'd ever done was survive the rainforest...she was wrong.
Things between Amanda Rush and Nash "Buck" Chaney aren't starting out very well. He's one of two Army Night Stalker helicopter pilots sent to rescue her and the twenty-three kids who've been kidnapped from a school in Guyana. But when the time comes for everyone to escape the military rebels who'd driven them deep into the Amazon rainforest, Amanda runs away from rescue, instead of toward it, forcing Buck to chase her down.
As it turns out, she has a very good reason for not immediately rushing into the helicopter with all the kids. But now she and Buck are stranded in the very warm, very wet, and very uncomfortable rainforest-with a whole contingent of pissed-off rebels on their trail, who are determined to hunt them down.
Not on Buck's watch.
Danger's a funny thing. It can either bring people together or drive them apart. Despite their rocky start, Amanda and Buck find, to their surprise, that they have a lot in common. And once they return home to Virginia, they think they've left that danger behind them in the hot and humid rainforest.
They couldn't be more wrong. Someone went to great lengths to get rid of Amanda...and they're determined to finish what they started.
**Keeping Amanda is the 2nd book in the Rescue Angels Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
Trigger Warning: This story very lightly explores the distressing reality of child soldiers in other countries, as well as the sometimes devastating impact of adult mental illness on children. For those reasons, it may not be for more sensitive readers.
