It wasn't exactly what Maddy had had in mind. Hugo Griffin - Griff - had agreed to fly Maddy to her holiday destination, but halfway over Paradise Island they had been forced to crash-land! Maddy had wanted peace and quiet but she couldn't help but feel that a deserted island was a little extreme.

At least she had company for Christmas - Griff was the ultimate in tall, dark, handsome strangers. Unfortunately, he had made it clear that he was off-limits as far as poor little rich girls were concerned. So there was Maddy, trapped on an island paradise with a decidedly reluctant Adam. But what was paradise without a little forbidden fruit!
