That Wilder Man

Más información sobre el libro

When floods hit the Midwest once again, the one-hundred-year-old McKenzie boarding house may finally see its demise as widow Elizabeth McKenzie fights to keep water from seeping through the basement walls. If she can't keep the basement dry, the women who are secretly sheltered in the building will be out on the street. Reluctantly, she tracks down the only person available to help her save the shelter—pilot Max "Wildman" Wilder. Living at his childhood home while he shuttles in flood-relief supplies, Max opens his door to an attractive, slim woman, soon realizing she is the once-voluptuous teenager Liza Jane Brown, the girl who left him to marry his friend and rival, John McKenzie. When he learns about the boarding house, he refuses to save a building that belonged to the man who had stabbed Max in the back. Midst torrents of rain and rising water, Max and Elizabeth discover the tempest between them as teenagers is stronger than ever. Although Max is more than willing to recapture the lost years with her, Elizabeth fears that he is as dangerous as the flood-waters of the Mississippi, threatening to sweep her away with his passion but leave her heart battered and bruised.'
