The girl next door is now a woman, and she's determined to win his love

Marian Crane is fit to be tied. Rolph McKenzie—the man she's loved all her life—still sees her as a kid and refuses to take her seriously. So Marian decides it's time to stop playing it cool and turn up the heat. Her campaign of seduction will prove to the insufferable, yet irresistible, marina owner that she's the only woman for the job—and for him.

The sexy, savvy woman he just interviewed is a world away from the fourteen-year-old tomboy Rolph taught to ride and roller skate. But he prefers having only one place to call home, and Marian loves the siren song of exotic, far-off ports of call. Is the passion sizzling between them strong enough to convince Marian to put down roots? Or will she pick up and leave again, this time taking Rolph's heart with her?
