Blurb
Makenna Stewart flees Scotland for the Big Island of
Hawaii intent on making real a cherished dream-a bakery of her own. Hard work
and long hourse leave Makenna craving some fun in her life. Her best customer, Greek-god sexy surfer Tom
may be just what she needs, but she suspects there’s more to him than board
shorts and a devastating smile.
Retired professional surfer and real-estate
multi-millionaire Tom Bensford is there when she opens every morning, but he’s
not craving her magical Morning Glory muffins.
Fascinated by the dark-haired, blue-eyed wahine with the creamy Celtic
skin and devastating Scottish accent, he’s never met a woman like her. Too bad he’s about to destroy her dreams.
To him, it’s just business. To her, it’s the kind of
betrayal she fled Scotland to escape. Can the island magic in Makenna’s
heritage save her dream and their romance, or will his secret tear them apart?
Excerpt
Tom took her hand and gently feathered the inside of her wrist with
his thumb. “We can’t leave yet. The sun will set in a few minutes. You don’t
want to miss the view from here. We might even see the green flash.”
“I read about that. It’s rare, isn’t it?”
“Rare and lucky.” Tom gave her an evil grin. “Would you like some
extra luck tonight?”
Makenna cocked an eyebrow his way. “It depends on what use you plan to
put it to.” She fought back a grin, knowing full well what he meant. The
promise he’d made before dinner at the ranch when she’d reached for his zipper
and he’d stopped her by kissing her hand. That’s for some other time. He hadn’t
pushed, but she knew he wanted her. Was she ready for this relationship to go
to the next level?
Aye, she was.
Tom just smiled. “Look, the sun is touching the water. It won’t be
long now.”
He scooted their chairs together to face the sunset and draped an arm
across her shoulders. The breeze picked up, as if the wind was being drawn into
the water with the drowning sun. Makenna could barely keep her attention on the
display as Tom’s fingers gently stroked her shoulder, then traced up the side
of her throat to tangle in her hair.
“So lovely,” he murmured, his breath warming her ear.
Makenna turned to face him, letting her lips meet his, gently at
first, then more firmly. “People can see us,” she warned when they broke apart.
“I don’t care.”
He kissed her again, and she lifted a hand to his face, liking the
rough scratch of his whiskers on her fingertips. A change in the light told her
the sun had gone down. “We’ve missed it.”
“We don’t need it,” he answered and pulled her to her feet. “Let’s
go.”
“The bill…”
“Already taken care of. Your place, or mine? Mine’s closer.”
