A grumpy jungle-dweller.
A paranoid bat biologist.
An uncharted island in the South Pacific.
Marooned since the age of ten, Aleki Taylor is used to loneliness. Twenty-four years on a deserted island with nothing except a mammoth pig sidekick and a trunk of books, not to mention some vintage nudie magazines, for company meant that all hope of returning to his old life vanished long ago.
But after a violent storm, a mysterious woman washes up onto the island…HIS island.
Maris Schuler, a wildlife scientist, finds herself on the wrong side of the ocean when she falls off a research boat. She is sarcastic, chaotic, and afraid of being alone—completely obliterating the peace that Aleki has carved out for himself. And if she asks him one more question, he might just consider using her as shark bait.
He wants nothing more than for this sweet-smelling, brown-haired intruder with long legs and soft skin to leave, before his eyes fall out from the “accidental glances” he steals.
Only, it’s too late. She’s already infiltrated his every thought and his very being that he can no longer distinguish his soul from hers. He needs her like the jungle needs water. Like the moon needs the sky. With her, “alone” is finally a distant memory.
Except, Maris doesn’t belong to this wild life. Not like Aleki does.
So when the past comes searching for her, Maris must make a decision that could end their new dream life together.
For the first time in his life, Aleki is in love. But does he love Maris enough to let her go?”
