About the book

"Can you deny the attraction between us?"

Eve had to admit she couldn't--and she was grateful for Zack Thole's financial backing, which had saved Hallam's Boatyard, her family's business. But she had no intention of being carried away by moonlight and madness.

Dominating and determined, Zack pursued Eve Hallam single-mindedly, and she found herself weakening. Yet Eve was haunted by the past and by her almost-committed relationship to a man who despised Zack Thole like an enemy.

Could Zack's motive in pursuing her possibly be revenge?
