Even a lifelong traveller like Harper Summerville has to admire the scenery in Razor Bay, Washington. There's the mountains. The evergreens. The water. And Max Bradshaw - the incredibly sexy deputy sheriff. Still, Harper's here only for the summer, working covertly for her family's foundation. Getting involved with this rugged, intense former marine would be a definite conflict of interest - professionally and personally. Max's scarred childhood left him determined to put down roots in Razor Bay, yet one look at Harper - a woman who happily lives out of a suitcase - leaves him speechless with desire for things he's never had. He might not be big on talking, but Max's toe-curling kisses are getting the message across loud and clear. Harper belongs here, with him, because things are only beginning to heat up?.
