description: Her future beckoned . . . but so did he
  
  Julie Thorne wanted one last glimpse of her childhood haven before selling it. But what she saw there gave her pause. The scenery had definitely changed. Down by the water stood a breathtaking man, muscular, bronzed--and stark naked.
  
  But there was even more to Dan McLeod than met the eye. The rugged fisherman had a gentle, loving side. Julie was willingly lured into his sensuous net . . . even knowing their love was only for a season.
