Fergie Duffv knows fantasies don t just materialize -- until a tall, handsome devil of a man in a jaunty palmetto hat suddenly appears in her greenhouse doorway. Marine biologist Ryan O'Donnell's been sent to Pelican Island to save the endangered loggerhead turtle, but one look into Ryan's heart-melting brown eyes and Fergie's sure he's her very own romantic hero...sent by fate.

Rut Ryan's an island unto himself, a footloose, self-assured adventurer. And, he boasts, he's one biologist with absolutely no interest in perpetuating the human species -- to him, children are savages. Problem is, Fergie has three savages to raise! Can she disprove his theory...while keeping her own instincts at bay?
