Virginia Ryan thought defying her father and joining the Australian Army Nursing Corps would be the hardest thing she ever had to do... until the British oil field where she's sent in Borneo falls to the enemy.
Greg Cutler is the sole survivor of an Australian special ops team sent to destroy enemy oil production. With that mission complete, he rescues Virginia from pursuing Japanese soldiers, and both must then escape through the jungle, fighting each other all the way while trying to deny a growing attraction.
Struggling with their many differences, they make friends with headhunters, survive malaria, cross raging rivers, and head for home.
When their journey takes an unexpected twist and each believes the other dead, can love survive the battles still before them?
