Pure and innocent Emily Gentle was a writer of gentle, romantic novels. Told to spice up her writing she travels to the rain forest of Papua New Guinea in order to write a red-hot, sizzling romance, but she hadn't counted on the annoying but devastatingly handsome naturalist, Tobias Steele. Thrown together in a tropical paradise, hate turns to lust, and for Emily lust turns to love. But what of Tobias and the evil she-devil that arrives like a serpent to ruin her Eden? Tormented by her longings Emily finds solace in her writing, depicting her on-off relationship with Tobias into a steamy, erotic masterpiece, a fantasy of how she dreams her life will turn out, and the hero-Tobias of course. Finding strength she didn't know she possessed Emily battles through hardships, anguish, and disasters, to find not only an awakening of womanhood, but a deep and abiding love.
