      About This Book

      It was a setup

      After breaking her leg, aerobics instructor Deirdre Joyce was fit company for no one. Especially not for equally disgruntled Neil Hersey, whose reputation as a lawyer had been unjustly tarnished.

      Craving solitude, both turned to Victoria Lesser--friend, owner of a remote island . . . and cagey matchmaker. Finding themselves stranded together off the coast of Maine, the volatile couple vowed revenge. But then friction kindled a fire, and neither captive wanted to escape Victoria s tender trap .. . .
