Dateline: Kydd and Rios — Tara Janzen

SHE WAS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE...AND EVERYTHING HE WANTED
Blond, beautiful, and nothing but trouble, nobody knew more about finding a story in war-torn San Simeon than Nikki Kydd, and as long as the stories had kept coming, photojournalist Josh Rios hadn't minded the trouble - until the green-eyed angel found her way into his heart. After three years as partners, and unable to resist her any longer, Josh orders the wild, young beauty back to the States.

But with her mother imprisoned in San Simeon, no force on earth can make Nikki leave the country, not even the man she loves. With her back against the wall, she makes a bargain with the devil, and prays she and Josh won't both pay the price. Will her reckless betrayal destroy the passion they shared one hot, tropical night...or is one night never enough for two souls entwined by fate?
