For Love of Mike — Courtney Ryan

Hours after leaving her fiance at the altar, Gabrielle Cates is trapped on a deserted beach in a bedraggled wedding gown, with only her cat, her guilty conscience ... and a tall, slightly intoxicated, thoroughly spellbinding man for company. Being rescued by Mike Hyatt ...and tasting his whiskey-flavored kisses... proves disturbingly delightful.

Thank goodness Mike shares her aversion to marriage, yet is eager to help when she finds herself homeless, unemployed, and literally in the dark. He slays Gabby's dragons with tenderness and passion, tempting her with visions of matrimony. But can two such free spirits ever tie that final knot?
