When Linda Dorgan takes a solo vacation to a Mediterranean island, her friends think she's insane. After all, she's never even been out of the country; but Linda needs to draw a line between her failed marriage and her new life, between her suddenly stalking ex-husband and all those eligible fish that are supposedly swimming in her sea. She needs time and space from her ex and every other red-blooded American man. Her escape is interrupted by a handsome, sandy-haired American who breaks her reverie on the beach and stirs something in her heart, before walking away and leaving her prey to the local authorities who are tracking him. All she knows about him is his name and that he does diplomatic work, though both of those things turn out to be untrue. Can he go against convention, and tell her who he truly is, and what he really does? And how will her ex - an increasingly maniacal cop who once left her for another woman - react to him?
