Everything changed once he got there, and that was part of the problem.

Recently discharged from the Navy, Gabriel Nadeau is looking forward to his new job as head of security for the Pelican Cay Resort. Confident island life will suit him, he's eager to regain his land legs and call it home.

Born and raised on Pelican Cay, Adriana Hernandez doesn't romanticize the island the way tourists do. She sees its limitations and yearns for more beyond the blue horizon.

Drawn to one another by the very things that should discourage them, the former sailor and the beautiful free spirit fall head over heels just when all hell is about to break loose. As they scramble to batten down the hatches in a race against time, they have no idea the hurricane is only one of the dangers closing in on them.
