What a wonderful story of love lost then found. I teared up in more than one place. This is a couple who would sacrifice everything to protect each other, even if doing so meant never being together. The heroine clearly matches the hero in bravery.

Four years after his wife's supposed death, Jim Wolfe shockingly encounters Lily at an airport. Stunned, he can only let her go once again, as she slips away with Eric Von Rass, her grandfather's right hand man -- the man selected to be her next husband. Jim does not suspect that Lily's reactions are an effort to save his life from her cruel grandfather, a man who will stop at nothing to get his way, including murder.

Her grandfather has plans for Lily's life. The last of the Phillips, Lily must fulfill her destiny to provide him with new heirs unpolluted by the likes of Jim Wolfe. His ruthless manipulations destroyed Lily's marriage, leaving her to believe herself widowed for years. Her grandfather holds her son hostage in assurance of her compliance to his will. But Lily will do anything to get her son to safety.

Author Barbara Clark once again pens a novel of startling emotional intensity and danger in EMERALD HEAT. Clark's talent sparkles in this world of orchards and romance. the result is a memorable sensual delight that juxtaposes jungle lushness and unspeakable cruelty. Characterizations are vivid realized, especially Lily and Jim who must find a way to healing and forgiveness in defiance of a man who rules his country and his family with an iron fist. The result is an exciting romantic suspense readers cannot put down. Highly recommended.
