One night to escape... Meredith Jacobs has long since given up passion for duty...but sexy search and rescue officer Cole Phillips is the perfect excuse to cut loose. In the tropical paradise of Sunset Bay, she can enjoy a carefree evening in his arms before she goes back to her all-work-no-play life. At least, that's the plan. One day to decide... Cole's history with women has taught him to keep his heart under wraps, but beneath Meredith's prim-and-proper exterior he finds a fire to match his own. She stirs emotions far more dangerous than lust—and presents a challenge tougher than any special ops rescue mission. One chance to change it all... A misunderstanding keeps them at odds until an unexpected encounter brings Meredith and Cole face to face with the desire that flares between them. Has the bad boy finally met his match? Or this time, is he the one in need of rescue?
