Synopsis

A NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF TROPICAL KISS! Killian knows all about vampires and aliens. They're not real. But when a handsome swimmer climbs into her storm-tossed boat an hour from her summer destination, the worlds of fantasy and reality suddenly collide...

He stuffed something into the pipe. With practiced skill he produced a lighter from somewhere. He lit the pipe again, revealing the deep lines of his weathered face. "How long?" he replied finally.
