"Powerful romantic challenge between Scientist and Photographer"

Nate is off exploring when the photographer arrives and they do not meet until the next morning. What a surprise, Andy Peterson... is actually Andrea. A woman who has lived in the shadow of her famous father and has taken this assignment to finally break loose to show her true talents.

Summary

Photographer Andy Petersen's dream assignment assisting noted ornithologist Nathan Murdock quickly becomes a nightmare. Professor Murdock is expecting the senior Mr. Petersen at his remote mountain camp, not the absolutely gorgeous--and irritating--Ms. Petersen. Sparks--and feathers--fly as Nate and Andy are forced to deal with each other, a group of murderous smugglers, and the preservation of an eyrie of magnificent but threatened peregrine falcons. The question is: can two avowed 'control freaks' find love and common ground amid the cliffs and caverns of northern California's beautiful Trinity Alps?
