A Natural Passion (ePub)

Dylan O'Day has been an exemplary marine biologist for years, constantly devoted to the protection and preservation of the natural world. Yet lately, he has a new passion, one that's distracting his once focused thoughts. Though a decade older than her and her trusted mentor, Dylan hasn't been able to stop thinking about the new intern. He's never met a person quite like Kyra before, someone so genuine and caring, and who understands his love of environmental conservation. It's just too bad his age and situation put him in an ethical dilemma. Should he risk it all for a chance at happiness or insist on keeping their relationship platonic?

Kyra Shine began interning only a few months ago at the Merchant Marine Science Centre and she's already crushing hard on the boss' son. Jake Merchant might be the bad boy of the team, but he seems perfect. They share a love of nature, especially the ocean and spend their days watching over the endangered turtles nesting along the coast. While her mentor-the sweet, but overprotective Dylan-disagrees with her growing infatuation, Kyra's sure his scathing assessment of Jake is misinformed. Surely, the two men are more alike than they realize.

After discovering the turtle nests raided in the night, the Science Centre team goes on high alert, until a dangerous interaction with illegal poachers shatters reputations. Can the team save their beloved turtles before another nest is ransacked? Will Dylan overcome his concerns to tell Kyra how he truly feels before her heart is completely lost to another?
