Trying to get away into the night, Cara is not sure who the good guy is or who is the bad one. Will she find out before it is too late?

Cara Waters thinks she's the luckiest woman in the world. Hunky ex-football player Buck Tarrant has swept her off her feet. After promising her a trip to New Orleans, he suddenly took her to Mexico instead. While there Cara is disturbed to see fellow coworker Dave Burkhart following them. Back home Dave has been stalking her there. Cara is terrified when Dave abducts her and bewildered when he accuses her of being a criminal. She is protesting her innocence when both of them are found by real criminals – a dope grower with a private army. Cara and Dave barely escape as they run for their lives through the forbidding, dangerous Mexican jungle. Perhaps more dangerous is that they have to do, trust each other and forge an uneasy bond until they can return to civilization.

As they flee Cara realizes nothing is as it seems. She must fight for her life without really knowing why.
Who is her enemy? Who will help her or even believe her?

This is a book very special to Janis Susan’s heart. Between 1940 and 1944 her mother Aletha was a County Home Demonstration Agent in Brooks County in South Texas. Raised in the lush rolling farm country of Northeast Texas, Aletha found the dry, sandy ranch country to be alien and strange. Like her daughter, Aletha possessed a talent for incident and Janis Susan grew up on the tales of her mother’s adventures. After her mother’s death Janis Susan found among her papers a fragmentary manuscript and a sheaf of notes for a book; she took these and wrote THE LAND OF HEART’S DELIGHT, a wry, touching and revealing glimpse into a time and a way of life that are no more.

When Elissa McLaughlin went on a package tour of Egypt, she certainly didn’t expect time to slip nor that she would end up in the danger and intrigue-laden court of the woman pharaoh Hatshepsut. She expected even less to fall in love with Amun-Nakht, the handsome Army general who regarded her first as a pleasure woman, then as the solution to Egypt’s perilous future. He claimed to love her, too, but showed no hesitation in risking her life to save the throne. Could Elissa survive the plots and wars of the ruthless ones who fought over Egypt? And, if offered the chance to return home to her own time, could she leave behind the man she loved?
