Tropical beaches and second chances...
As a rule, Chase Hammond avoided going home to Divine Island whenever possible. But
when his father has a heart attack, he's left with no other choice but to go
back and hope that he can avoid trouble and stay focused.

Recently divorced and struggling to keep all the elements of her life together, Natalie Rey has absolutely no desire to make her life any more difficult than it already is. But when Chase Hammond shows up on her doorstep, the man who rejected her years earlier, she'll have to do her best to avoid the monumental distraction.
The last thing either of them needs is their sizzling chemistry getting in the way of
their goals.
their goals.
Can Natalie resist the sexy man who broke her heart years ago?
Will allowing him back into her life only lead to more heartache?
Chase
rubbed her feet, letting her know he was still awake. She didn't think he'd be
able to fall asleep sitting up the way he was. He asked, “Do you still hurt
bad?”
She
shook her head, with the blanket held up to her chin. “Not really. I'm just
stiff. I'm sure this couch isn't helping.”
“Can I
see?” he asked.
Natalie
nodded, and Chase pulled the blanket to one side, exposing her leg. In
deference to the light bandaging, she'd worn only a large, oversized T-shirt.
The backs of her bare thighs were stretched across his legs.
“I was
watching when they bandaged you up,” he said, peering at her leg with careful
movements. “It didn't look too bad.”
“Was
that before or after you told the doctor we were engaged?”
He
smirked. “You heard that, did you?”
She
nodded.
“I did
what I had to do.”
He
rubbed her foot again, and then his hand slid up to her ankle, his fingertips
like a feather's touch against her skin.
Her
eyes snapped to his, and they were heated, his eyes shining. His voice lowered.
“God, I want you.”
Natalie
swallowed hard and felt a shiver of pleasure that travelled through her body
before settling between her thighs. “You rejected me once, remember?”
“Wanting
you and rejecting you are not mutually exclusive. I've always wanted you, Nat.”
Natalie
searched his eyes. “It's difficult for me to believe that.”
He made
direct eye contact and looked determined to prove it to her. “You tell me if
this hurts?” he asked.
She
nodded slowly, her tongue darting out to lick her lips.
He kept
his eyes on her, taking his time as he slid his hand up her leg with a
dexterity that the surgeons at the hospital would envy. She wondered idly when he
would stop his ascent, and prayed that he wouldn't. Because this was exactly
what she'd always wanted.
His
hands on her.
