About this book

Captain Luke Andrews, a military doctor, is on stress leave in Hawaii to rest and recover. Ocean photographer Kristen Turner travels to Hawaii for three months following a health scare with cancer. When the two meet, they experience strong chemistry and begin spending time together. Luke finds it difficult to maintain distance from Kristen, who he finds wild and irresistible. Their connection feels more consuming than his previous military duties. As their relationship develops during the vacation, both must confront whether their time together is simply an escape from reality or something deeper—a chance for the survivor and the hero to learn to value each day.
