No way are Jack's take-charge attitude and dangerous good looks going to sway her.

And he's surprised to discover that what started out as just a job has suddenly become very personal.

Helen Sweeney is driving Ethan insane. First she nearly runs him down with her truck, then she's taking potshots at a sailboat with empty beer cans and leading him on a wild-fish chase! She's the craziest - and most interesting - woman he's ever met. What Ethan doesn't know is that Helen has a reason for her behavior. She needs his business savvy to help save her fishing charter company so she can provide a secure future for herself, her father - and the little "Bean," her unborn child. Instead she finds herself falling for him - a definite complication, given her father's mysterious hatred for Ethan's father. And then there's the small matter of Ethan's desire never to have kids...

Beware the "terror" of Heron Point Elementary!

Billy's a dad who knows he's in over his head—and has been ever since his daughter was dropped on his doorstep. Despite his attraction to newcomer Evie, he resents her interference…until Gemma faces a real threat, and Evie is the only one who can help.
