Description:
After a sudden job lay off,
Maya holes up in her apartment, drinking wine and eating ice cream until the
day she’s slated to leave for Greece. Even though she’s lost enthusiasm for this
Greek island swimming vacation, she’s paid for the trip so she boards the
plane.
She figures her life can’t
possibly get any worse. She’s unemployed and spent most of her savings hiring a
lawyer to collect commissions her corrupt boss refused to pay. She stumbles
down to the Lefkada Island dock the first morning jetlagged and grumpy. When
she spots a Greek man with a drool-worthy body, her plan is to look casual.
Instead, she trips and plunges straight into the water. It wouldn’t be so bad
if she never had to see him again. But Eros, a former Hellenic Navy SEAL, is
one of her swimming tour companions. He boards the boat, pokes fun at her
American mannerisms and asks way too many irritating questions. And he’s so
damn hot, he makes her feel confused and distracted all the time. To make
matters worse, he’s assigned to be one of her swimming partners.
Maybe Maya could have ignored
the simmering attraction between them if it weren’t for the earthquake, the
tidal wave and being stranded alone with him on Kalamos Island.

Excerpt:
Where
are all these crazy random thoughts coming from? My mind isn’t usually this
disordered. Right now it feels more turbulent than the open sea we’re about to
venture into. My stomach lurches at the thought. I wonder if maybe I should
have taken an extra motion sickness pill just in case the prescribed amount
isn’t enough for me. Stop. Get your head together. This too handsome man is
wreaking havoc on my equilibrium. I nearly laugh out loud at the stupidity of
that ridiculous thought. What equilibrium? I’ve already demonstrated my shit
sense of balance to everyone on this boat and soon they’ll know I’m mentally
unbalanced as well.
“I
believe we’re all here now,” says Libby. She disappears into the cabin to start
taking a head count and ends the counting by touching me on the head.
“Thirteen’s the lot. Very good.”
Thirteen
swimmers on the boat and I’ve just been dubbed the unlucky thirteenth. I try to
discard thoughts of bad luck colored by images of sinking boats and muscle
cramps. Normally, I’m slightly superstitious. But now I’m feeling downright
neurotic. I’m completely annoyed with my predicament. I was as stable as any other
person until the shit with my job hit the fan and I flew to Greece. Now, I’ve
seen one hot guy, been given a random unlucky number and suddenly have the
thought processes of a crazy lunatic.
Forget
unlucky thirteen. Now he’s walking toward me. I clear my throat and cough.
Damn. My mouth feels dry, but my water bottle is in the bottom of my bag. I
won’t allow my mouth to fall open as I watch his large, tanned feet take
several athletic steps until he’s standing right in front of me. Okay, so here
we are. I’ll utter one or two stupid things right away so I can get the worst
of the embarrassment over with right off the bat.
What
I really need right now is a shot of tequila.
