From career woman…to camp fire girl?
As regional chief of employment and training, Sue Ellen Carson gets to sit in a comfortable, air-conditioned office and make funding decisions–she just doesn't do fieldwork. But this time her boss insists that she evaluate a program firsthand–three weeks of survival training with at-risk teens in the Florida wilderness. Entering the rough-and-tumble world of camp founder USAF Chief Master Sergeant Joe Goodwin isn't her idea of fun–especially once she gets the hang of the rules:

And evidently, if the expression on his love-struck face was any indication, her ex-husband, Colonel Dave Armstrong–aka said next-door neighbor–wasn't quite finished with her yet either. Hmm. Who was it who said the best is yet to come? Maybe there was something to that after all….
