He pulled her from the storm, but she's the one drowning in desire. Maya Harper is a woman adrift. Freshly unemployed and hiding the truth from her successful sisters, she arrives at the exclusive La Isla resort for a bachelorette week desperate for a distraction. She expected cocktails and sunbathing, not a near-fatal slip off a dock during a tropical storm. Gabriel Santos knows the ocean gives, and the ocean takes. When he spots the woman in white falling into the churning waves, the rugged fisherman doesn't hesitate. Pulling the unconscious beauty from the water is instinct; keeping her in his bed to recover is dangerous. Gabriel is supposed to be just a fisherman-one of ten brothers running the family empire-but tending to Maya awakens dreams he buried long ago.

Trapped in his quarters while she heals, a tentative friendship ignites into a scorching passion that neither of them expected. But Maya's life is back in Philadelphia, and Gabriel is anchored to his family's legacy on the island. With the vacation clock ticking down, Maya must choose: return to the safety of the life she planned, or risk everything for the man who breathed life back into her.
