BLURB:
English conservationist, Caro Hannah, and South African, Ben Duval, must work together on a project to introduce endangered African wild dogs to a reserve, four years after their love affair ended. The challenges of their profession pale into insignificance beside the personal obstacles they must overcome in order to either bring closure to the events of four years before, or reignite a passion hot enough to set the African bushveld on fire.

EXCERPTS
Ben tried to ignore the twinge of anger caused by Caro's rather pointed departure. Although her rejection wasn't unexpected, it still felt like a slap in the face. And it was the second time in the course of half an hour that he had lost his head over this woman. The first touch of his arm against her breast had been accidental; he'd been concentrating on answering Sophie's questions. But after a second or two, it had been very deliberate.The feel of that soft mound against his upper arm had burned into him with an intensity that made it hard to speak to Sophie as if nothing was happening. As if he wasn't losing his mind. Trying hard to think of all the reasons a sane man would never, under any circumstances, drag a woman from a hide and rip off her clothes the first private place he came to, just so he could give in to the mind-shattering pleasure of pressing his naked flesh to hers. Feel himself slide against her, slippery with sweat and that primal desire he had never felt with any other woman.
He had looked for release, many months after she had left, with beautiful women, but every encounter had remained on the surface no matter how hard he'd tried to dive to a deeper level. Eventually, it had terrified him that he would never feel again what he had so easily felt with Caro, so he had stop thinking about it, banished that expectation, but now…

REVIEW
The Alpha Match is one of the rare stimulating pot-boiler, that sight-sees the African inhospitable surroundings. Anyone reading this remarkable book, will be taken to the flora and fauna of environmentalism - by the two brilliant conservationists who work sweat and blood in order to save the wild dogs.
All characters have been well developed, they carry the story with an irrepressible reality. What kept enticing my mind to this book even more, was how the characters managed to intermingle with these animals… the exclusiveness of this story is amusing I enjoyed how each the sequence of event were unraveled …
LeighArcher is without doubt a lover of Africa's wild open space. I have fallen head over heels for her writing technique in this novel. I am interested in reading more of her work.
