Julie Simms moved back to Half Moon Bay to take over her ailing great auntโs fiber arts store, and stayed by her side until the end. Now itโs Julieโs first Christmas without the sassy old lady, and grief drives her to take some much-needed time off away from a town full of memories.
A week in Honoluluโhula dancers, coconut palms, and sunny beachesโis exactly what she needs, plus a bonus: meeting a gorgeous man who makes her forget everything except getting naked. With him. As often as possible.
Stanford Professor Lukas Klein, whoโs just finished up a conference and is ready for a break, hasnโt been this intensely attracted to a woman since his divorce. Heโs been leery of getting too deeply involved in a relationship, yet Julie is a breath of fresh air he canโt resist. And doesnโt even want to try.
Half Moon Bay and Stanford arenโt that far apart, but the magic of paradise could be too far removed from reality to let an attraction this mind-blowing last forever.
Warning: Crochet bikinis and sex on the beach (the drink and the real thing). Hawaiian breezes ignite an affair hot enough to reanimate a dormant volcano.
