The exotic setting of South America brings us this
sizzling
romance. A charity worker called Serena DePiero has flown
in to Rio but only now discovers that the aid organisation
is run by an old acquaintance, Luca Fonseca. Committed to
her ideals, Serena wants to work - despite the possibility
of FONSECA'S FURY.
Serena has had a giddy youth. Her wealthy family enabled
her partying across Europe and she never had to think
about
other people. Now she's grown up enough to want to earn
her
own way and commit to a good cause. Fonseca, who equally
partied hard, was caught with drugs in his pocket during a
nightclub raid in Italy. He knew they weren't his, and he
blamed the stunning girl who'd been dancing with him when
the police arrived. Serena once more protests her
innocence
in all good faith, but the man has no reason to believe
her. He wants her on the next plane home.
Well, if Serena is fired, there is no reason why she
shouldn't stay on and sightsee. However the cheap hotel
she picks is near a dangerous part of Rio, and a girl
alone
is vulnerable. When Fonseca finds out, his sense of
responsibility drives him to find her. Sparks are flying
between these two determined people and neither of them
wants to back down to the other.
I enjoyed the action once the story really gets going.
Offices and hotels we can find in any book, but Fonseca
runs an ethical mining firm with the co-operation of a
tribe living on the Amazon. Someone is going to exploit
the bauxite resources, and he tries to see that it is done
fairly to the local community, repairing damage to the
rainforests. A flight, jeep trek and two-day hike later,
our characters have a lot more respect for each other and
for the jungle environment. Can they square their
differences though? That's a bigger question.
There's adult activity in the steamy heat of Brazil, the
hum of insects and birdcalls, and the musical language of
Portuguese on Ipanema Beach. For a story of new
beginnings,
of overcoming the past and finding the truth in nature's
paradise, try Abby Green's romance FONSECA'S FURY. This
tale is packed with atmosphere, location and in the end,
doing what is right.
The last time Luca Fonseca saw Serena DePiero, he ended up
in a jail cell. The Brazilian billionaire has since clawed
back his reputation, but he's never forgotten her. So when
Luca discovers Serena's working for his charity, his anger
reignites!
Serena has changed. Finally in control of her life, she
refuses to let Luca intimidate her. She'll deal with
whatever her new boss throws at her—from a rain-forest
trek to the social jungle of Rio! But she can't handle the
passion that flares hotter than Luca's fury.
Especially when it threatens to consume them both!
