their desire one stormy night. Unable to resist the push-pull of
passion, they give in to their feelings, embarking on a steamy affair
under a searing tropical sun. But to get the wary heart doctor to risk
her own heart will take Hale's most seductive powers of persuasion….
ROMANTIC TIMES BOOK REVIEW
Attorney and lobbyist Hale Cameron owes
his success to Adam Maxwell, who took him in
as a wayward teen and helped him to overcome
his troubled background. Adam’s physician
daughter Diane has resented Hale since their
thwarted romance when she was a teen. When
they meet in the Virgin Islands to celebrate
the holidays with her family, Diane lets her
guard down and really gets to know Hale, yet
her insecurities and past feelings creep in
at every opportunity to hurt their
burgeoning romance. Hale, who is undoubtedly
the most patient man in existence, struggles
with Diane’s unresolved issues regarding his
background. Diane’s treatment of him,
sometimes abominable, though explained
through the story, causes her to appear
shallow.
