Friends who ditch her. A pod of killer whales. A limping cruise ship. All reasons Iris finds herself stranded on a deserted island with the handsome Navy SEAL...

Iris McLaughlin was having a great time on the cruise until the Navy SEAL grabbed her and towed her into a lifeboat. Okay, so maybe "a great time" is a bit of an overstatement. Iris hadn't enjoyed being late to orientation, being the last one on the boat, or sharing a wall with the obnoxious Navy SEAL who has a staring problem.

But hey, at least that off-the-shoulder swimming suit her sister had said would work, actually worked.

When a pod of killer whales attacks the cruise ship, the captain calls for people to abandon the ship. Justin Brunner, retired Navy SEAL, tows Iris over the side of the boat without a second thought. In the morning light, they discover they're the only ones in a lifeboat and the cruise ship is long gone. Oh, and so are the whales.

So maybe Justin had acted a little quickly. He'd been trained to do just that, so she can't really blame him. Can she?

They eventually make their way to a tiny speck of an island in the huge Pacific Ocean, relying solely on Iris's hip pack of emergency supplies and Justin's strength, intelligence, and calm demeanor in a crisis. As they navigate the obstacles of food, shelter, and water on the island, a new player arrives: Their feelings for each other.

Justin feels like he's playing catch-up because of his possibly premature actions, and Iris is sure a man like him won't be interested once they get back to civilization. Will she risk her heart for the tattooed SEAL? Or will Justin have to fight as hard for her as he did in the Navy?

    I really enjoy your books. I’ve read three now, I think. I’m not into constant “angst” but real communication instead, so your books are the best. Thanks for writing them!

    Justin only took the cruise for work. Ivy with her co-workers. When her and Justin become partners she never thought they would be stranded on an island together. Falling for each other seemed easy until they are rescued.
    Great story. Loved the characters.

    Justin and Iris were set up as buddies during the cruise orientation. Shortly after departure the ship started rolling and the emergency evacuation message was called and all passengers were to report to the life boat stations. Once in the life boat Justin started paddling as fast as he could to get them away from the whales that were attacking the ship. Spotting a small deserted island they set up camp and wait for rescue. With no rescue in site they try to head back towards Maui. Interesting relationship and use of resources.

    Preconceived notions were thrown in the garbage in this book. Can’t have a relationship cause to much danger or I am married to my job were worthless in this situation and just the right climate was brought about to change all that. Excellent.
