Love comes as a stranger, and too often it's lust, seductive, enthralling and emotionally treacherous, that makes the introduction. And so it is for Esme Shane, a strong, self-assured woman, once a sex therapist now a book illustrator, and Dane McCoy, a magnetic, secretive man, once a billionaire businessman now... Esme and Dane, both of them smart, sophisticated and cautious, have good reason to distrust one another. They should never have met. But fate, as is its way, decided otherwise and created an irresistible scenario. A sun-drenched island in the Gulf of Mexico. A secluded estate. A reluctant promise. Ten short days. An instant and incendiary attraction. An attraction easy to satisfy—impossible to contain. _________________________ This is a short romance. Note: While this story is not burn your hair-tips erotica, it does contain fully-described love scenes. Enter the bedroom—or walk the beach—forewarned.

I live on Vancouver Island in the moody, green, and rain-washed Pacific Northwest. So when I'm seriously story challenged (too often!) I often walk the beach and commune with the stunning and multi-talented Mother Nature. (Make that beg for inspiration!) If that doesn’t work, a few minutes thinking about the quirks and foibles of human nature usually does the trick. I dislike cooking. I dislike nosy people. I dislike too many rainy days in a row. I dislike snakes. And the only word I hate is hate. I love reading, writing, my sons, my sister, my twin granddaughters, my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Boon—and most of all my first and last husband, Tim. You can follow me on Twitter, if that's something you tend to do. @EC_Sheedy I also mess around on Tumblr. That's here: http://ecsheedy.tumblr.com/
