Stranded With The Sergeant

OPERATION: Boss's daughter's school trip

Subject: Drop-dead gorgeous Sergeant Joe Wilder, whose carefree facade hid a deep sorrow, making him avoid women and children.

Mission: Escort a group of kids–and their sexy teacher–on a wilderness weekend.

Complications: The teacher was the boss's daughter! Lovely Prudence Martin had been a soldier's child–and vowed never to be a soldier's wife! Yet when she and Joe were forced to shelter in a snowbound cabin, things began to heat up. Because Joe was the man she'd forbidden herself…and the only man she could depend upon.

Mission Success: Uncertain. What would happen when they were rescued?
