Synopsis
Sometimes all a girl needs is a little fling…
Talie Ronson needs a vacation.
From life.
Since she caught her cheating, loser husband in bed with his assistant, her life has been on a steady spiral—right into hell. Her car’s a junker, her job sucks, and her perfect, gorgeous sister likes to brag about her wonderful life every time they “do” lunch.
In an effort to salvage what’s left of her life and her sanity, she takes the advice of her kooky best friend and takes off to Topsail Island. A week at the beach, alone, is exactly what she needs to recharge, regroup, and relax.
Only, her alone time is about to get derailed.
Gavin Palmer’s favorite activity is walking around in his boxers and eating junk food. He and his neighbors have an understanding. They stay out of his business and he stays out of theirs. He lives at the beach, not for vacation, but for isolation. He’s had enough of people to last him a lifetime.
Gavin’s isolation is interrupted when his normally quiet neighbor starts disturbing his peace. He stomps across the sand to give the guy a piece of his mind… only it isn’t a guy.
It’s Talie.
She’d maddening, nosy, and talks too much.
But she’s hot and her bedroom eyes have him thinking maybe he’s had enough solitude. Maybe a week of company is exactly what he needs.
Maybe what they both need is a no-strings-attached tryst.

Teasers and Excerpt
He
began to draw lazy circles over the inside of my elbow with his fingers. He
didn’t play fair. How was I supposed to keep up with a conversation when he did
things like that?
And
why did he affect me this way?
He
was maddening, bossy, and he lived off snack cakes for goodness sake.
“Talie?”
he said, my name ripping from deep within his throat.
“Oh,
um… Vacation.”
“Who
takes a vacation alone?”
“Who
lives in a beach house alone?” I answered.
“I
like my privacy. I’m not a social guy.”
“Then
why did you bring me here?”
“I
don’t know,” he said, sounding absolutely mystified.
“I’ll
go,” I declared.
He
nodded.
Neither
of us moved. He didn’t release my arm.
It
was as if we were both paralyzed in a bubble of attraction. The pull between us
was so unlike anything I’d ever experienced before. It was physically powerful,
chaining us together where we sat. Both of us voiced the intent to break apart,
to go our separate ways, but our bodies overruled our brains.
There
would be no moving away.
Only
closer.
In
one fluid movement, Gavin came forward, sweeping an arm around my waist and
pulling me to the very edge of the couch. His knees parted and my body fit
between them as his lips fastened to mine.
We
were Velcro. He was the rough side and I was the soft. The closer he pressed,
the more tightly we fused. I swear to you in that moment I didn’t think. I
couldn’t. I could only be pummeled by the onslaught of heavy desire that
flooded my system like a surging waterway.
