Tropical Storm — Patt Bucheister

A Hurricane in Tight Jeans...

Wyatt Brodie had come to Biloxi to bring Cass Mason back to Key West -- and he wasn't taking no for an answer! Her desperately ill mother was asking for her, but was Cass ready to face Delta, the woman who'd given her to a friend to raise so she could fly off to Paris to paint? Cass's voice was honey sliding over velvet and her haunted eyes made Wyatt vow to shield her from new pain. He challenged Cass to confront her past, promising to help if she'd let him.

Aroused by his healing touch, she longed to trust him to stand by her -- she'd struggled so long on her own -- but did she dare surrender to the hunger he ignited in her yearning heart? Wyatt warned her that once he made love to her, they could never be just friends, that he'd fight to keep her from leaving the island. But when Cass had a chance to fulfill a girlhood dream, was he strong enough to claim the woman he'd branded with the fire of his need?
