When all she wants to do is get away from the alarmingly handsome, oddly reclusive Ransom Shepard, Fate has other cruel tricks to play. No matter how much she tells herself to steer clear of the mysterious Alaskan, she can’t resist savoring steamy fantasies of moonlit nights in Ransom’s arms. Will her good sense win out over long-dormant passions, or will desire for this magnetic man make her his weak-willed, summertime conquest? Only time and fickle Fate will tell!
