They were complete strangers searching for the same thing—
solitude. But thanks to a matchmaking friend, Deirdre
Joyce and Neil Hersey found themselves stranded on an
island off the coast of Maine. Forced to coexist, they
discovered there was no escaping the inevitable—
irresistible attraction. The idea of living alone again
was unimaginable, and so a marriage of "convenience"
seemed like the perfect solution—he would run her family's
company and she would pursue her career. But could their
feelings survive the forces of the outside world?
Paige
Mattheson is reputed to be as beautiful as the alabaster
sculptures she creates—and just as cold. An intensely
private person, she is perfectly happy living by herself,
until Jesse Dallas walks into her life. Paige's fierce
desire for Jesse both exhilarates and terrifies her. And
after spending six glorious weeks with him at her isolated
beachfront home, she is a woman passionately in love. But
can she trust this loner not to walk out of her life as
easily as he has entered it?
