When ex-supermoddel Lola Carlyle learns that some very -- ahem -- private photos of herself are being peddled on the Internet, she hides out where there's sun and -- she thinks -- safety, until the gossip dies out. Then the private yacht she's blissfully napping on is "commandeered" by some man who says his name is Max Zamora, and that he works for the government. It sounds crazy, but Max is telling the truth -- his cover's been blown, he's on the run, and now he's confronted by a very angry -- and beautiful -- woman. He's seen Lola before -- barely clothed on covers of fashion magazines. But she's more beautiful in person. From the top of her pert blonde head to the tips of her little painted toes, Max finds her sexy, curvy... and a pain in the butt. And that's before she blows up the ship! Now, the unlikely pair is stranded in the middle of the ocean, it's getting very hot -- not just from the sun -- and Lola is about to reveal it all... Setting: The Caribbean and North Carolina Sensuality: 8 Gorgeous Lola Carlyle is a woman who has overcome immense obstacles. Once a wildly successful swimsuit model, she's conquered the bulimia that kept her ultra-thin, gained enough weight to make her voluptuous, and walked away from modeling to start a successful lingerie business. None of her grit and guts, however, has prepared her for dealing with undercover agent Max Zamora. When he steals the yacht she's sleeping on in the Bahamas and heads for Florida, chased by drug runners who have beaten him badly, Lola's determined to escape. Unfortunately, her efforts disable the boat and the two of them are stuck on the drifting yacht. Max recognizes Lola's famous face and body immediately, but dealing with the furious woman tests his patience. It isn't until they're both nearly killed that the attraction between them blazes out of control. But if they can manage to stay alive and return to the States, is there any hope for a future between a man who thrives on danger and a woman who craves a settled life? Author Rachel Gibson has a talent for creating characters who step off the page and into readers' hearts. She uses that gift to advantage in this latest novel with its bigger-than-life characters, hair-raising action, and searing heat between hero and heroine. Don't miss this one. --Lois Faye Dyer When ex-supermoddel Lola Carlyle learns that some very -- ahem -- private photos of herself are being peddled on the Internet, she hides out where there's sun and -- she thinks -- safety, until the gossip dies out.

Rachel Gibson began her fiction career at age sixteen, when she ran her car into the side of a hill, retrieved the bumper, and drove to a parking lot, where she strategically scattered the car’s broken glass all about. She told her parents she’d been the victim of a hit-and-run and they believed her. She’s been making up stories ever since, although she gets paid better for them nowadays.
