She’d been thinking about Brody and suddenly she was seeing him.
And hearing him.
It wasn’t possible. She was in shock. And pain. Her shoulder hurt like the devil. That was it.
She flashed the light again, being careful to keep it away from his eyes. The man’s body was long and lanky, with narrow hips and a flat stomach. Nice wide shoulders. Strong chin.
Oh, no. She knew that chin.
“Brody?” she said, her voice squeaking.
Said chin jerked up and she caught the full impact of his hazel eyes. He looked her up and down and, even knowing that it was so dark that he couldn’t be seeing much, it had her wanting to run and hide. Thirteen years. And it felt as if it were yesterday.
“Evening, Elle,” he said, his voice sounding strained. “I guess this just proves that no matter how bad things are, they can always get worse.”
Trapped
Beverly Long
As a child, BEVERLY LONG used to take a flashlight to bed so that she could hide under the covers and read. Once a teenager, more often than not, the books she chose were romance novels. Now she gets to keep the light on as long as she wants, and there’s always a romance novel on her nightstand. With both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in business and more than twenty years of experience as a human resources director, she now enjoys the opportunity to write her own stories. She considers her books to be a great success if they compel the reader to stay up way past their bedtime.

Elle Vollman—When her small plane crashes in the Amazon jungle, Elle must team up with Brody Donovan, the fiancé she ran away from thirteen years earlier.

Dr. Brody Donovan—When the plane crashes, Brody is able to render medical aid. But he can’t stop his own blood pressure from rising when he realizes that he’s stranded in the Amazon jungle with Elle Vollman, the only woman he’s ever loved. Is he willing to risk his heart one more time?
Leo Arroul—He’s been Elle’s friend for years and she trusts him. Will he cross Jamas by helping Elle and Brody escape? Or is he already on Jamas’s payroll?
Captain Ramano—He does a masterful job landing the plane in the jungle, but does he know more about the engine trouble than he’s willing to share? Would he have deliberately crashed his own plane?
T. K. Jamas—He’s a predator of young girls, luring them into the world of human trafficking. He will stop at nothing to ensure that Elle never testifies against him. But is the love he has for his mother his one vulnerability?
Felipe—He’s T. K. Jamas’s right-hand man but he has his own reasons for capturing Elle and Brody. To what lengths will he go to ensure that they cooperate with his plans?
Maria—She’s a nurse and appears loyal to Jamas. Have Brody and Elle underestimated her ability to help or harm them?

“Long flight, huh?” she said.
Long, late and the last twenty minutes, bumpy as hell. He glanced at his watch, judging the amount of time he’d have between connecting flights. “Yes,” he
