Dedicated accountant Marla Blackhorne has vowed to get her family name back on the Readner & Son Accounting Firm signage. Even if it means she has to work 24/7 and compete with her ex for the coveted partnership position. She's close to realizing her goal...until hunka-hot Reed Readner, her teenage crush, careens back into her life.An offshore marine salvager, Reed barely escaped the family accounting business and the soul killing nine to midnight hours. There's no way he's ever going back to Serendipity Island...until his mom guilts him into a cruise to celebrate his dad's birthday. But when Reed encounters sweet and sassy Marla on board, not even his fear of being tied down can save him from falling hard and fast.When a storm strands them on a deserted island, and the competition for the partner's position heats up, will the other castaways-all the people who love to poke and pry into their lives-ruin Marla and Reed's burgeoning relationship? Or will these two seemingly different people discover that love and compromise are the road to happily-ever after?This story includes an uptight accountant with too much guilt and not enough privacy, one reluctant hero who is about to lose his boat-and his heart-on the family cruise, naughty lingerie, Sex-on-the-Beach, meddling mothers, unexpected friendships, and a battle-of-the-sexes secondary romance.
