Alaine Winters returns to her homeland to tend to her injured mother, but she's not against a little island loving, should the opportunity arise! Just not with her former crush, Craig Holt!
Alaine wasn't looking to be bogged down with a commitment, and the Craig Holt she remembered was the forever-type. But in the three years since their one-night, Craig has changed. Yes, their chemistry is still off the charts, but Craig is suddenly relationship-shy. Which suits Alaine just fine!
They fall headlong into a steamy, tropical affair, careful not to let their mothers, who happen to be best friends, find out. In keeping with the no-string-attached, friends-with-benefits theme, Alaine keeps her dating options open with another hunky male, Omar. But as the affair with Craig progresses, she tries to ignore the feelings of disappointment that Craig appears to be completely unbothered by the knowledge of Omar.
