A bit about the book:
What do a Marine who received a
“Dear John” letter and a journalist who dumped her cheating fiancé have in
common? Nothing, outside of being heartbroken over lost love. But when they
accidentally end up next to each other jetting to a Caribbean paradise, they do
share one thing: mutual attraction. Friendship between Tara Mason and Sergeant
Mick Peterson grows quickly through a few dates on St. Thomas. An argument coupled
with a blunder strand them on a small deserted Caribbean island.
In the midst of nothing but sand and
water, possible starvation leading to death, old wounds heal. While working
together to survive, Mick and Tara fall in love. Love found in their own private
Eden is soon challenged in life-threatening ways when they return to the
mainland. Long separations, danger and loneliness test their devotion. Is the
love they’ve found strong enough to withstand what life throws at them?

“I’m
Mick. Don’t worry about me, I’m going to sleep,” he said, before rolling on his
side and closing his eyes.
Mick
slept for fifteen minutes, but woke up again. Damn conditioning. I wanted to
sleep. Now that he was awake he glanced at Tara, who was engrossed in her
book, checking her out. Slim—not skinny, beautiful auburn hair…to her
shoulders, perfect breasts, cute nose with a few
freckles—pretty. As she turned the pages, he noticed the white mark on her
finger from a ring, but no ring. Something she was reading must have
struck her as funny because a grin lit up her face. Wow.
Tara
glanced at him out of the corner of her eye then her gaze met his.
“Sorry,
didn’t mean to stare. Can’t sleep. You’re…uh…well…um,
really pretty. Please forgive me, don’t be scared, which—after
what happened I’m sure you are. Go back to your book, I won’t bother you.”
Color crept into his cheeks.
