Paradise calls to Chase Wilcox. A man of science fascinated
by the rebirth of life in the wake of cataclysmic natural
upheaval, he is drawn to the lush beauty of the island of
Hawaii and the secrets it holds—while escaping the
destruction of his own personal world. Here where warm
breezes caress the skin and vibrant colors assault the
senses—and where dangerous fires rage unseen beneath the
earth's surface—Chase plans to immerse himself in his
work...and somehow heal and forget. The last thing he needs
or wants is love.But the island is home to many unexpected
wonders, which is why Nicole Ballard could never leave it. A
research assistant, an artist, and a dancer—a tall, stunning
redhead who goes by the stage name of Pele, the goddess of
fire—she, too, hides a secret pain, releasing her pent-up
sensuality to the accompaniment of native drums before a
mesmerized audience. Nicole has never met a man quite like
Chase, strong, intense, and brilliant. And he, in turn, is
fascinated by this remarkable woman who seems to be a
breathtaking force of nature in her own right. Fate has cast
them together, causing a chain reaction that neither
imagined in their most secret dreams.Joined on an important
scientific project that carries them into the verdant heart
of a tropical wonder land, Nicole and Chase will be forced
to confront their own lingering inner darkness, while
resisting a newly inflamed need to touch, to give...to care.
But in the shadows of Kilauea, all restraints will be
broken, as emotions flow as hot and free as rivers of molten
lava. And desire will erupt, as unpredictable and dangerous
as the living volcano, transforming the very landscape of
their lives—a torrent that no power on earth can contain, a
passion that bums like fire.
