But when Carla finds out that Philip is a cop—just like her father—she’s devastated. She’d always vowed to stay away from police officers and the tumultuous lifestyle that comes with them. Despite their chemistry, and Philip’s persistence, Carla ends the affair. Only when she returns home to Seattle does Carla realize that it hadn’t just been the tropical sun that set her blood afire; it had been Philip. Now she wants him back. But is Carla willing to sacrifice her biggest deal breaker for true love?
