Escape from Timbuktu - Shirley Gould - Bog

Elliana Bendale can't believe her first assignment as a photojournalist is in ... well, Timbuktu.
Yes, it sounds remote, but it's an enchanting ancient city in West Africa, and if she does this right, this project could open the door to a world of exotic assignments. And even better-her translator is a ruggedly handsome Frenchman. What could be more exciting?
Beau de La Croix is not who he says he is. But posing as an interpreter enables him to gather intel about the terrorists threatening Timbuktu. No one needs to know he's a double agent-especially not Ellie.
Unfortunately, the number one enemy in the world has figured it out, and suddenly Ellie's photojournalist adventure includes dodging bullets, traveling down a crocodile-infested river, and literally running for her life.
What has Beau gotten her into? And if they survive, can she say goodbye to her hunky hero? Or is his life as a double agent too much excitement for a feisty Texas girl?
When Beau's worst fears come true, what will he do to save the feisty reporter he can't seem to shake?
