How do you save a hero?
Workaholic Cricket Shaw is a darn good lawyer—until a controversial case compromises both her ethics and her career. A long weekend in Temptation Bay, Rhode Island, for her high school reunion is the perfect escape. Sand between her toes, the sun on her skin...and a ruggedly mysterious former navy SEAL.
Except Wyatt Covack is much more than Cricket ever imagined. He’s still tormented by the lives he was responsible for and lost. The connection between them seems to take on a life of its own, a current that resists all logic. But the only way Cricket can save her SEAL is by letting go of the life she’s fought for...
“Where to?”
Wyatt and Cricket stood midway between the elevators and the outdoor deck.
“My suite?”
“Sure?”
She nodded.
He kissed her lightly, quickly. “I need to get that wine.”
She held him even as he tried to make a break for it. “That’s what room service is for.”
“Is that all?”
“For now,” she said, pulling him along until she could hit the button to go up. His arm slid just above her waist, his fingers gliding on her bare skin.
She shivered at the feeling, and when she opened her eyes, he was staring at her with so much longing it stole her breath away...
After writing over sixtysomething books for Harlequin, here it is, my very first Superromance. I have to say, it’s been a total joy to write. I loved delving so deeply into the relationships, fell madly in love with Wyatt, wanted to be just like Cricket, and I absolutely want to move to Temptation Bay...this week, please?
I got so involved in this story that I dreamed about these characters, thought about them at inconvenient times (while watching a movie—that I actually liked) and now that I’m not writing it anymore, I miss them like crazy. I keep calling my dog Baby Girl, have made myself a lobster roll because I couldn’t bear not to and, well...I truly do hope you enjoy Wyatt and Cricket’s story.
All my best,
