'Be careful what you run from… you never know what might catch you instead.

'Shae knows one thing…she can only be happy when she’s at sea, flying below the radar.

'But Drew Vega, the boy she fell for in Samoa, turns out to be a stranger. Gone are their dreams of sailing the world together, with nothing but the ocean to answer to. Drew’s days are now filled with business meetings instead of sketching landscapes, red carpet premieres instead of beaches, tailored Armani suits instead of swimming trunks. And the media trail him wherever he goes.

'That’s not the only thing testing their love…

'Brett, Drew’s lifelong friend, is quietly plotting in the background. Shae is the cure that will wipe away his taboo past, and he’s determined to have her… whatever the cost.

'When Shae runs from her new life with Drew, she has no idea what’s about to catch her.'

'Brett doesn’t believe in love triangles . . . someone must go.

'When Drew is manipulated into believing Shae has fallen for his lifelong friend Brett, Drew decides that letting her go is the ultimate act of love.

'For Shae, his rejection only pushes her closer to Brett.

'Unhappy and living on separate continents, Shae’s decision to cross the Atlantic in a sailing contest ends in disaster. She has no choice but to accept Drew’s offer of a home and medical specialists, but she’s determined to never let him into her heart again.

'In his final, desperate attempt to have Shae for himself, Brett crosses boundaries of friendship and love, and concludes that the only way to destroy a love triangle is to decide who will live and who will die . . . Drew’s the obvious choice, but if Brett can’t have Shae, then no one can.'

'Three’s a crowd, especially when one is a stalker…

'Sienna Chase is having the worst day of her adult life—kicked out of her nursing program, dumped by her boyfriend, and to top it off, followed home by creepy Dr. Charles Allerton.

'Flying back to her parents’ home on Cape Cod to take stock of her life ends up triggering the trauma of her sister’s death twenty years earlier. Thank goodness for Blue Rafter, the boy she gave her first kiss to at the age of eight. He’s all grown up and their chemistry is instant.

'Except Dr. Allerton turns up, scaring her with frightening gifts and messages, and Sienna needs to figure out why she’s hiding evidence to protect him. 

'The police don’t take her seriously. Her parents think she’s drinking too much to numb her memories. Her only ally is Blue... and he’s trying to save her from herself. 

'Until Dr. Allerton’s final gift ...'
