Cocktail parties, political fundraisers, and charity events are Maddy Powers' way of life. But the daring man who appropriated her father's yacht a couple of months ago is still out there, somewhere, and she wants to pay him back for the scorching kiss they shared. Behind his suave smile and lady killer eyes, Bran Palladino carries a dark secret that keeps him from pursuing Maddy...even though he can't get her out of his head. But when Maddy is kidnapped as part of a grand scheme, it's time to put up or shut up...because Bran can't live without Maddy now.
