Time and Tide — Dixie Browning

Olivia Lawson had come to the Outer Banks to relax. Courtland Heller knew what she really needed, though, and he was determined to provide it.

Olivia's elusive loveliness haunted him, but her fragility hid a will of iron. How could he ever get her to admit she needed him as much as he needed her? Time and tide wait for no man, and Olivia was no match for either the elements, or the man.
