Man of Steele — Judith Bowen

HOOK, LINE AND SINKER

A female deckhand was the last thing Mike Steele wanted right now. As far as he was concerned, women and fishing boats didn't mix. And pretty, petite Kimberly Bowring was no exception. Oh, he liked women all right -- but only on shore! Unfortunately, he had no other choice.

Kimberly had heard all about Big Mike Steele. He was a legend among fishermen. She just hoped the crusty old salt would take her under his wing and help her overcome her fear of the sea. Mike did turn out to be rough, tough, and gruff, but he was also disturbingly handsome....

How could she hope to face her fears while sharing such close quarters with this lithe, lethal and not-so-old man of the sea?
