Lindsey had one word to describe Ben McCauley
Only a scoundrel would have promised Lindsey Halloran three weeks of work on the idyllic island of Maui and then, just when she was settled into her new job, ask her to play a starring role in a high-stakes vendetta against a business rival.

Pretending to go along with Ben's elaborate scheme, she plotted the ultimate counter maneuver that was sure to beat the master at his own game. But what she didn't plan on was the powerful allure of the island moonlight and Ben's irresistible manly charm.
