An unexpected trip...When Lauren Daniels gave her housekeeper an all-expenses paid island vacation, she hadn't expected to join the young woman on the trip. Why had she agreed to it, anyway? The loss she'd suffered a year before had changed her from a decisive workaholic to a restless pushover. Fine, she'd tag along. But that didn't mean she had to like it. An unexpected woman...Dwayne Donner was bored with the Caribbean sun and the beautiful women. Both could burn: bad. But when he met Lauren Daniels—a woman who looked like she'd rather be anywhere than a beach paradise—Dwayne's instinct to run in the opposite direction failed him. He's drawn to her, despite the trouble he knew she'd bring. An unexpected encounter...Lauren couldn't risk the pain of loss again. Dwayne couldn't risk being conned by another woman. But the risk of heartbreak is eased when she discovers who Dwayne Donner really is.
