The island provided much-needed solitude

In their villa on the Great Barrier Reef, Belle Fraser worked to establish herself as a writer, determined to emerge from the shadow of her famous father. Then unexpectedly Rex Marron arrived.

A protege of her father's, he expected to be alone there to lick his wounds following a costly palimony suit.

But Belle saw his arrival as a chance for revenge against the handsome man who'd once humiliated her. Her plans went madly astray when she realized her teenage crush had developed into the full-fledged feelings of a woman. And according to Rex, he was now only interested in "one-night stands."
