Smooth Sailing

Recently widowed Rome Cicero is determined to manage the business her beloved husband left behind: a 60-foot yacht and a thriving marina on San Juan Island in the Puget Sound. And though she's loudly discouraged from taking charge by Sam, her long-time marina manager and now, surprisingly, a would-be suitor, Rome feels she's ready for the challenges of her newly independent life.

Then a small sailboat rams her yacht—revealing a young, blond, and incredibly sexy stranger—and Rome feels an almost motherly concern…until one blistering kiss leads to an intimacy she'd never dreamed of rekindling! As she and Erik watch the porpoises frolic on the sparkling surface of the sea, something magical begins to happen. Could Erik—with his youth and charm—be the gateway to a lifetime of adventure…and maybe even a chance to love again?
