Miki is living every woman's fantasy – stranded on a desert island with a rugged Navy SEAL. But little does Miki know she's a suspect in an international high–tech robbery, and her steely–eyed companion is ready, willing and able to do anything to make her talk....
Navy SEAL Max Preston doesn't buy one word of his gorgeous captive's rambling story as he carries her up the beach. Yeah, she's got curves in all the right places, but Max has a nose for a con – and there's no way he'll let his iron control waver.
Now a hurricane's headed their way, and for Max and Miki time is running out fast. Can they team up as friendly forces – and use Max's amazing canine companion to escape before a deadly villain takes his twisted revenge?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The latest romantic intrigue from Skye (Hot Pursuit, etc.) is as full of contrived cliffhangers as the pulp fiction that inspired its striking cover. San Francisco assistant DA Cara O'Connor and presidential hopeful Tate Winslow are planning their wedding when Cara is threatened with harm and the exposure of an abortion she had in a Mexican clinic decades earlier. An underworld smuggler she convicted seems to be the source, but who's actually delivering the dead rat and sinister notes? Using the pull afforded by their status, the couple arranges protection from FBI agent Summer Mulcahey, who stands in as nanny to Cara's two children, and Navy SEAL Gabe Morgan, who poses as gardener on her estate. Summer and Gabe patrol the property, make a dramatic visit to the clinic and fall into bed and love. But despite their constant use of agency technology, they fail to solve the mystery or even keep themselves safe. Indeed, Cara's psychic daughter is the one who finally exposes the rather clueless and unlikely culprits. Although Skye has done her homework on FBI/Navy SEAL jargon and surveillance devices, even beach readers may find the wildly implausible investigation difficult to swallow, and few will likely care about the fate of a privileged couple misusing vast public resources in the face of a patently silly personal threat.
