YOU CAN’T STOP A RISING TIDE<\/span><\/p>\n

When Lily Doyle spots her high school crush Aiden Flynn on the inbound ferry, she knows trouble is about to dock in Seashell Bay. And not just because he’s more handsome than ever. If Aiden’s in town, the rumors must be true about his family’s plan to sell their coastal land to the highest bidder. But Lily will do whatever it takes to convince the hottest guy on the beach to protect their idyllic island home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gorgeous Lily Doyle was the only thing Aiden missed after he escaped from his hometown to play pro baseball. Now all Aiden wants is to wrap up the business deal and get back to his life, not relive a past that still haunts him. But as memories rush in about the night of passion he and Lily shared long ago, everything else washes right out to sea-everything except the desire that still burns between them.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the first book in the Seashell Bay<\/span><\/em> series.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lily thought she\u2019d done a fairly respectable job preventing Darts Night from deteriorating into full-blown war. Not that Bram would ever lay a hand on a woman, much less one almost three times his age, but Granny had lots of supporters in The Pot. Any one of them would have been more than willing to throw a punch on her behalf.<\/p>\n

Aiden had done his bit to keep the situation under control too. He\u2019d reacted calmly and decisively, keeping his stupid brother locked down and treating Granny with a sweet, old-fashioned respect.<\/p>\n

And she had to admit that his understated confidence turned her on a little too.<\/p>\n

Okay, he was pretty much melting her panties.<\/p>\n

Once a high school hunk, Aiden had now matured into an incredibly sexy man with a laid-back assurance and masculinity that vacuumed up the attention of every woman in the bar but Granny. Every cell in Lily\u2019s overheated body was telling her that he felt the pull between them too, and that he was more than willing to act on it. Should she use that attraction to get closer to him and probe for info? She hated the idea of using such sleazy tactics, no matter how just the cause, and the idea of getting involved with Aiden was even more anxiety provoking. She felt pretty certain that would be a one-way boat ride to a whole lot of heartache.<\/p>\n

But Gramps had made her mission crystal clear\u2014find out where the boy<\/em> stood on Seashell Bay\u2019s future. Would he honor his mother\u2019s inheritance or would he side with his jerkwad of a father? From the few clues Aiden had dropped, she sensed that he had yet to make up his mind. Aiden wasn\u2019t the kind of guy to let his father\u2014or anyone else\u2014force him to make a decision before he was ready.<\/p>\n

So there was time to push back, especially if he hung around for a while. And if he did, Aiden just might be a temporary fix for the other problem that was keeping her awake at nights.<\/p>\n

If she could get him to agree to it, and that was a very big if.<\/p>\n

She flashed him a bright smile when he hit the double ring to score another twenty-six points with the third dart of his turn. \u201cVery nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lily didn\u2019t need to fake her compliment\u2014he was damn good. Now it would come down to the first person to hit the double needed in order to check out.<\/p>\n

He casually rested his hand on the base of her spine as she took up her position. His hand, big enough to nearly span her lower back, sent heat through to her skin. The sensation forced her to lock her knees to hold her stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeeling the pressure yet?\u201d His deep voice made her want to press her thighs together. \u201cYou must really hate the thought of losing in front of the home crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLose? In your dreams.\u201d She mentally winced at the squeaky note to her voice.<\/p>\n
