Elle Aycart

Wickedly sexy James Bowen is a bad boy of the highest order--tattoos and attitude included--which unfortunately ranks way up on Tate's not-a-chance-in-hell list, right there along with skydiving naked over Teheran and juggling Ebola vials just for kicks. But what the heck, she's on holiday, the guy is absolutely irresistible, and she needs to unplug from her life. With her dad and brother gone, Tate is left to deal with the family restaurant, which is fast going down the drain. Her employees are acting up, her boyfriend has bailed out, and her very own private stalker is emailing her to death with lovely threats of doom, fire, and dismemberment. So yeah, maybe a little holiday fling is in order. Strictly sex though, and no follow-up whatsoever. Once. Just once. She hadn't counted on her take-charge holiday fling having an opinion of his own and stubbornly sticking around, before "and after" the sex, making himself at home in her life. There is definitely more to James than meets her prejudiced eye, and even if she's not ready to look deeper, James isn't prepared to permit her not to.

If the universe would be so kind as to send a hunk to make the transition bearable, she'd be good to go. Alec can't believe the woman he just rescued is the same girl who saved him all those years ago, when he was nothing but an angry street thug.
