Marine Capt. Dammit McGowin couldn't believe his luck-a one-night stand with the most beautiful woman he'd ever met. He soon discovered she'd recently become the sole heir to three generations of her family's wealth. Robbi, full of life and a brand new medical degree, felt burdened by the responsibility, she hadn't asked for, until she realized she'd been handpicked and carefully coached by her grandfather to preserve the integrity of the family's treasure. Terror, romantic adventure, and dire responsibility forced them closer together, fi ghting for survival against violent men holding Robbi for ransom in California's isolated Channel Islands. A modern-day sea story for those who venture beyond the breakers.
