Gerry Madison is on the run.
Desperate to escape her con-artist cousin and trouble snapping at her heels, Gerry signs on as crew aboard a luxury sailboat bound for Bermuda. The job seems perfect: quiet seas, a clean getaway, and just enough time to figure out her next move.
There's just one problem: Quinn Evans.
Quinn needs to deliver the state-of-the-art yacht to its new owners in pristine condition and right on schedule. He doesn't need complications, especially not in the form of a sharp-tongued woman with questionable sailing skills and a talent for getting under his skin. Women are bad luck at sea. Everyone knows that. But with the deadline looming and no other applicants, Quinn has no choice but to take Gerry aboard...even if she makes him fantasize about tossing her overboard.
Once underway, Gerry's zest for life crashes headlong into Quinn's steady-as-she-goes discipline, rattling both his routines and his peace of mind. And as if that weren't enough, she's smuggled aboard a stowaway of the feline variety; another unwelcome surprise.
They try to keep their distance, stealing solitude on deck beneath starlit skies and salt-soft breezes. It's a mistake. The charged moments between them only deepen the pull, leaving Quinn hungry to uncover Gerry's secrets: and Gerry feeling more alive than she ever has. Below deck, in the close quarters of the boat, resistance proves impossible as attraction ignites into something far more dangerous.
But with Quinn's other woman waiting onshore-and Gerry hiding a past that could upend everything, can a romance born at sea survive the truths neither of them is ready to face?
Stella MacLean takes great delight in creating contemporary stories with characters willing to risk everything in their search for love and happiness. Stella MacLean's books all seek to explore the idea that love brings out the best in us, that laughter is the balm that soothes the inevitable detours in life. As a nurse, Stella has experienced firsthand the power of love on healing and on happiness. Stella's first book, Heart of My Heart, is a story about the twisted path love sometimes takes in order for two people to be happy. Her second book, Baby In Her Arms, speaks to the courage of love. Her third book, A Child Changes Everything, out in August 2010, shows us that loving a child can be the gateway to finding the love of our lives.
