Similar to "Walking After Midnight".

From the moment the American holding the gun jumped in her car, Lora Harding suspected her Cancun dream vacation might not turn out quite as she expected. Her abductor, John Roberts "Max" Maxwell, had shoulders like a linebacker, a handsome face under his faded sombrero, and the audacity to order her to drive . . . or else. The man scared the hell out of her, but his touch excited her as her staid fiancé's back home in Kansas never had. She read in romance novels about the irresistible "chemistry" between a man and a woman. She just never believed it could happen to a sensible, levelheaded English teacher like her. Determined to learn Max's story and do something wild for once in her life, Lora dared herself to surrender to the desire growing between her and this mysterious man on the run. Now, as intrigue and danger closed in, they raced headlong toward an Eden-like jungle hideout, where Lora vowed to hold on the paradise she found--kisses that left her trembling and a lover who satisfied the secret hungers of a woman's flesh and heart.
