"powerful tale of love and rescue in Courage Bay"
In Courage Bay, California, though he needs an examination
of an on the job burn, Fire Chief Ben Egan avoids Burn
Specialist Dr. Natalie Giroux as if her touch would
enflame him. Still with the coaxing of his daughter,
Natalie goes to the station to confront the reluctant Ben
so that she can see if his injury is healing properly. When a torrential rain causes a mud slide that threatens a
trapped man suffering chest pains, Dan and Natalie team
up. He flies the medvac helicopter and they rescue the
victim only to have the storm force an emergency landing
on apparently abandoned Shamala Island in Courage Bay. As
they wait for rescue, they begin fall in love, but both
have ghosts preventing them from moving on with someone
else. Fourteen years have passed since Natalie's fiancé
died from heart disease just before their wedding while
his beloved spouse Eleanor also passed away several years
ago. In the midst of this Code Red emergency, can a
second chance at love blossom between two nice intrepid
souls fearing the loss of loved ones? TOTAL EXPOSURE affirms that no one does romantic suspense
better than Team Carrington does it. The story line uses
previous loving relationships to provide the motive for
both lead characters to avoid a new one as loved ones die
until they are stranded with no place to hide or run from
one another. The action is top rate with fans feeling
they are in the midst of the disaster. Sub-genre fans
will gain plenty of delight from this powerful tale of
love and rescue in Courage Bay. Harriet Klausner

SummaryFire chief Dan Egan pilots a helicopter with Dr.
Natalie Giroux aboard to make an emergency airlift. A full-
blown electrical storm hits. Lightning strikes the
chopper. An emergency landing is their only hope....
The forced landing strands Dan Egan and Natalie Giroux on
a remote island in Courage Bay. Being isolated with Dan
both frightens and excites Natalie. He's the kind of
stubborn, fearless man she tries to avoid, yet she finds
herself attracted. Maybe it's the brush with death...or
the way Dan is struggling with his own desire for her. But
she may as well admit it—when their helicopter went
down, so did all of Natalie's defenses.
