Years ago, Jackson McKenzie let desire override his better judgement when he indulged in the hottest night of his life with Ali, a young woman he knew was off-limits. Guilt drove him to say things he didn’t mean and leave when he wanted to stay more than anything. But now that he’s heard Ali might be in trouble, he has no choice but to step back into her life, no matter how unwelcome he is. After her father’s death and her mother’s worsening illness, Ali Graham is just trying to keep things together. But the mounting medical bills mean she’s in danger of losing her inherited yacht-chartering business. Just when it seems things couldn’t get worse, the man who broke her heart sails back into her life, claiming he wants to help. As much as her traitorous body still craves his touch, Ali tries to keep Jackson at arm’s length. But how far is she willing to go to avoid risking her heart again?
