About the book
No man has ever bested Lacey Ferris. Evidently, Mitch DaSilva is going to have to learn this the hard way. He'd agreed to "kidnap" Lacey at the request of her narrow-minded, meddling uncles. But Lacey makes sure his plan to temporarily strand her in a cabin off the coast of Maine backfires when she sails off in his boat.
Unfortunately, the boat sinks. So now it's one-on-one in the middle of nowhere, a game spiced by fury, fresh air and more than a little lust.
