First, she must convince the station's director, handsome wildlife biologist Maxwell Stuart, of the financial benefit in making changes to the facility. Julie's bigger challenge, however, is to put aside old hurts, listen to her heart, and move on with her life.Max and Julie's conflict over how to save the station drives a wedge between them, yet they still find much in common and gradually fall for one another. A serendipitous discovery paves the way toward saving both the research station and the love that blossoms between them, but happy resolutions fade like rain forest mist in the face of a final crisis one that tests Max's trust in Julie and forces her to make the most difficult decision of her life.
