After rescuing her from drowning, he leaves her breathless... Cassandra Mallory, a high-strung businesswoman, is not having a good day. First, she’s the victim of a freak accident, falling overboard from her cruise ship amidst the worst storm ever. Then, while stranded on a deserted island, far away from all the comforts of modern life, she finds out she’s not alone. There’s a creature lurking in the waters. His tail alone is larger than Cassandra’s whole body. He doesn’t understand a word she says, and he’s scaly and blue. But who needs words anyway when you can have raw physical attraction? One thing’s for getting stranded may not have been the beach vacation Cassandra had planned, but surrendering to the wild currents of passion and desire was exactly what she needed.
