Convergence — Cheryl L. Hyde

Kaylie whisks Max away to Maui for a little R & R-Research & Romance. She is not sure how either will go. Both exceed her expectations. Maui's lush, tropical, sweetly perfumed ambiance, heavenly night skies, and warm, welcoming waters embody and embrace romance. Sparks ignite the senses. The steamy paradise fuels hungers and swirls spirits, sweeping Max and Kaylie into its vortex. Searching for buried secrets and little-known islands, Max and Kaylie skim the ocean in a high-tech, high-dollar "yacht". The adventure culminates in a tense standoff with elite Navy SEALs. Apparently, taunting Navy boys while wearing only a sexy bikini awakens Kaylie's passions. On the return voyage she engages first the autopilot then Max. But the day is not done, the adventure not over. A helicopter mishap uncovers the ultimate information Kaylie needs to discover what happened to her parents. Vacation becomes mission. An impromptu dance at a friend's luau reveals the couple's providence. A relaxing bike ride, with Magic Island Cruisers, morphs into a tactical field op. But, with answers come questions. Secrets and fates unfold as Max and Kaylie are thrust into a world neither of them planned or are particularly prepared for. Their goals, in fact their very beings, do not merely come together-they entangle and collide-as they find themselves launched into roles never dreamed of or imagined. Futures and destinies are no longer clearly defined or following a planned trajectory.
