A classic, somewhat cheese romance novel a la Romancing the Stone. The cheese factor is possibly one of the things that make it so endearing to me, and I pull it out for a reread every few years.

Stubborn and out-of-her-depth heroine, strong and silent and sexy hero, lots of tension and adventure and intrigue? It's a solid formula, and damn near impossible to screw up. And it works.

An old favourite, despite the outdated writing...
