When Lucy Brennan flees her controlling boyfriend for the wild beauty of Botswana's Okavango Delta, she thinks she's finally found freedom. Managing a remote safari lodge in Africa's untamed paradise feels like the fresh start she desperately needs.
But freedom becomes complicated when she's left alone with Starky Willis—the dangerously charismatic hunter whose magnetic charm has captivated women across the Delta. As their attraction ignites under star-scattered African skies, Lucy discovers that escaping one controlling man may have led her straight into the arms of someone far more dangerous.
When her manipulative ex-boyfriend Eddie arrives with devastating timing and emotional blackmail about her sick mother, Lucy faces an impossible choice. Meanwhile, gentle pilot Rob watches helplessly as the woman he loves gets caught between two men who want to control her destiny.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of elephants, lions, and endless African horizons, this is the prequel that reveals how love found its way to the characters readers adored in Whispers in the Kalahari. In the Okavango Delta, some risks lead to paradise—and others to peril.
