A winter romance from the shores of the Chesapeake to the paradise of Hawaii... matchmaker Freya won't stop until her friend Maggie and Navy SEAL Ryder find their happily ever after...

Let me be crystal clear:

I don't need a blind date.

I'm a SEAL. Women toss sex at me like it's free candy in a Fourth of July parade.

But I'm tired of hook-ups, short-term relationships, and mindless, hedonistic sexual encounters.

No, wait. Scratch that last one.

Point is, I want the kind of woman who will stick. Yeah, she'll drool at the sight of my standard-issue pecs and eight-pack, but she'll also put up with the baggage of Navy SEAL life.

But this blind date with Maggie?

One minute we're tearing each other's clothes off... and in the next, I'm in a deep freeze, face-to-face with the Ice Queen herself.

That's fine. I can move on. Except fate has other plans, the kind that will pluck us from reality and drop us into a place that might actually tame the demons that come with one-too-many SEAL missions.

With Maggie, I might find paradise.

My only question is, will it last?
