Travel agent Melanie Green has an unimpressive track record when it comes to relationships with men. But when it comes to local bar owner Mark Logan, Mel knows she could never settle for being a comforting gal pal.

Mark's the one—tall, strong, and wickedly seductive, with a mischief-made smile and soft green eyes that melt her every damn time she sees him. She wants him in her bed, wants the heavy press of his hard, hot body holding her down...and then she wants him to show her just why he's considered Foggy Bottom Beach's most delicious attraction. He's gorgeous, captivating, and far too experienced—but damn it, a gal can dream, can't she?

And then one day, the impossible happens. Instead of returning her smile through the front window of his bar, Mark walks across the street...and into her office! Now the man she wants most stands right before her, and Melanie knows this is her golden opportunity. But paradise never comes easy. Before misconceptions and misunderstandings destroy her dreams, Mel must convince the local hunk that despite her reputation, she's ready for a little less conversation...and a helluva lot more body language.
