First lines

In the yellowing light of a May morning, it was already hot and the temperature would climb toward the hundred mark in the Florida Keys before the day was over, led by the rising sun.

About this book

How long could their love last? She had been an impetuous teenager when she had defied her love for Slater MacBride to marry a Texas millionaire, and she regretted her mistake. After eleven years of marriage without love, Dawn Lord was returning to her home in the Florida Keys, seeking peace in the turquoise waters of the sea. But she found only storms of desire when confronted by Slater. Once a penniless speculator, now a local tycoon, he vowed to make up for lost time--in every way. Were they merely fooled by an intoxicating passion--or would they reach the heights and depths of love this time?
