Missing a huge scoop is an eager reporter's worst nightmare. And that's exactly the situation sports journalist Lola Sandler is in when she boards the cruise ship, Alexandra's Dream. During the break of a big scandal back home, Lola finds herself watching waves break in the Mediterranean. Luckily for her, a bigger story is waiting for her on the ship.

Four years ago in the final round of the Masters Tournament, pro golfer Eric Lashman walked off the green--and away from professional sports forever. After years of cultivating privacy and anonymity, he never imagined that he'd be teaching golf, let alone aboard a cruise ship. When Lola recognizes him, she sees an opportunity for a career-making exposé. But their developing attraction may force her to make a choice...write a news story or live a love story.

Danielle Chevalier has a taste for the finer things in life, especially the lush, exotic scents she creates at her fragrance business. Under pressure from her brother to sell the small outfit, Danielle is thrilled when she's invited to an exclusive conference aboard the cruise ship Alexandra's Dream. There she hopes to gain contacts necessary to rally her business and avoid the devastation of a takeover. But Danielle's dreams have a harsh run-in with reality when she meets Adam Burns, a representative from a major U.S. competitor who is determined to outmaneuver her in negotiations.

Fighting off the advances of a competing fragrance company is hard enough, but resisting her attraction to Adam may prove to be the real battle—and mixing business with pleasure may just cost her both.

Undercover police officer Cassidy Blake's top priority was to infiltrate mercenary millionaire Derek Mansfield's life—and expose him. Cass expected to find a ruthless criminal; instead she found a darkly magnetic man whose bone-melting intensity blurred the line between her duty and her own desires.

Derek Mansfield had returned to Chicago to settle a score, not to become entangled in a seductive game of cat and mouse with intriguing Cass. But the secrets in her eyes and her searing kisses had made him hungry for more than revenge.

Could either of them risk their hearts in this perilous game of smoke and mirrors?
