She fled the island to save him. Now she's back to reclaim what's hers... Jessie James escaped Seeker's Island fifteen years ago with only the clothes on her back and secrets too dark to share. Now she's returned to claim her inheritance – half of the island's most beloved beach bar – from the one man she never Luke Mallory. Luke built Seeker's Paradise from nothing, pouring his heart and soul into creating the perfect island getaway. The last thing he needs is Jessie storming back into his life, stirring up feelings he's spent years trying to bury. Especially when she makes it clear she plans to sell her share and vanish again. But when a catastrophic hurricane bears down on the island, forcing them to work together to save what they both love, the barriers between them begin to crumble. As the storm rages outside, an even more powerful connection rebuilds between them – one made of tender moments and unresolved emotions. Will the truths revealed in the hurricane's aftermath finally heal old wounds, or will the secrets Jessie's kept destroy their second chance at love? Return to breathtaking Seeker's Island, where the ocean waves crash, hearts reconnect, and sometimes it takes losing everything to find what truly matters.

Liliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts). Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller—a dazzling adventure—where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex. Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America. Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers. Enjoy the Adventures!
