Wearing flip-flops instead of ice skates and a flowered shirt instead of a team jersey, Axel Talstad is ready for a vacation from the pressures of professional hockey and from the stresses of injury. Axel is ready for a vacation from himself. An unplanned trip to Hawaii is exactly what he needs. In island paradise, he meets Oleanna Valdez, a beautiful woman who captivates him like no other. The scorching chemistry of their sunset kisses feels like fate. He wants so much more than a vacation fling. Unfortunately, she’s convinced the passion they share has no future beyond a few days in paradise. Oleanna can’t have the man of her dreams because she’s hiding a reality she can’t a secret too close to home.

Laura writes romances featuring women who slay their own dragons and the men who rock their world and hold their purse (or glass of wine). In her books, the fall is hard, the steam is blinding, the groveling is glorious, and the passion all-consuming. She's addicted to romances where the longing is so intense, the rewards of pleasure only deepen when they follow.
