Fiery, independent Dr. Ellen Stanford loves nothing better
than being holed up in her mountain research facility,
teaching the gorilla Gigi to “talk” using sign language. She
doesn’t have time to fulfill the Stanford family’s
expectations that she settle down to marriage and family.
Instead of disappointing the family – again – she decides to
hire a fake fiancé for the family reunion.
Enter CIA agent Dirk Benedict, a loner whose only mistress
is danger. When his car breaks down on Ellen’s mountain
where he is vacationing, she mistakes him for the fake
fiancé her friend had sent up the mountain for her to
interview. Intrigued by the opinionated, red-haired beauty –
not to mention her 500-pound gorilla – Dirk decides to play
along.
Too late, the real fake fiancé enters the picture, takes one
look at the gorilla and runs screaming off the mountain.
What’s Ellen to do but head to the family gathering in
Tennessee with the dangerously sexy undercover agent who has
already captured the heart of her gorilla?
Sparks fly. Not to mention a pie or two when Gigi takes
umbrage at being called an ape. She prefers fine animal gorilla.
By the time the charade ends, Ellen and Dirk discover that
their game of love has become all too real. When Gigi runs
away and the two of them must join forces to keep her safe,
they unleash a passion that blazes through the summer with
the intensity of wildfire. But how can it survive when work
beckons Ellen and danger calls Dirk’s name?
