Wendy Hawk, a widow who lives alone in the Everglades, finds an unconscious man face down in the swamps near her home. She takes him home and nurses him back to health. When she finds out why and how he came to be there, she isn’t sure she wants to be his Angel of Mercy anymore. But, neither of them can fight the attraction they have for each other.
This is a typical Silhouette/Harlequin type romance from the 1980’s. Some references are dated, but it still seems pretty contemporary. The chemistry between the two main characters is crackling, if a bit rushed, and somewhat melodramatic. The final confrontation was suspenseful and satisfying. Looking forward to the next book in this series featuring supporting characters from the last two. ( )
