description: Basque marries Basque...
  
  Eight years ago, Teslyn O'Reilly left Bakers Creek, Oregon, to try to forget Zak de Neuville, who apparently wouldn't ignore his Basque heritage. Now she'd come home, hoping to save her estranged father's failing lumber business.
  
  Zak, too, had returned. His new job was to preserve endangered species of wildlife - found in the midst of Gib O'Reilly's lumber tract!
  
  In spite of herself, Tess discovered that the sparks were still there. But could she ever forgive Zak's abandonment? And what about Pio, Zak's six-year-old son, who had made it perfectly clear that he wanted his father all to himself?
  
  Hero: Zak de Neuville
  Heroine: Teslyn "Tess" Veronica O'Reilly
