Carlie Beecher, a spunky American nurse practitioner with a penchant for putting her foot in her mouth, leaves her fiance in the states on the hunt for adventure, volunteering for a term on a tiny atoll in the Marshall Islands. Carlie is lucky to find a friend in fellow volunteer and local school teacher Campbell MacReid, who has fled from his native Scotland to escape his heartbreaking history and youthful mistakes. His kindness and strength help Carlie through culture shock; does she have anything to offer him in return?

With an 8-pack and a Bronze Star, I’m not exactly lacking company in my waterfront condo on Mauna Kea Beach. Toss in my M.D. and the mastery of female anatomy that comes with it, and I can make a woman beg for more. Unless she’s Samantha. Samantha’s got a life on the mainland that puts her off-limits. So why am I playing tour guide for her... and discovering just how tempting she looks when the turquoise water of Kealakekua Bay soaks her too-skimpy suit? She’s the best friend of my sister-in-law. Godmother to my niece. A fling is not in the cards. A hook-up? Impossible. But then, this is Hawai'i. Anything is possible in paradise.

Book excerpt: "On the eve of the twentieth century, Mary Mallon emigrated from Ireland at age fifteen to make her way in New York City. Brave, headstrong, and dreaming of being a cook, she fought to climb up from the lowest rung of the domestic-service ladder. Canny and enterprising, she worked her way to the kitchen, and discovered in herself the true talent of a chef. Sought after by New York aristocracy, and with an independence rare for a woman of the time, she seemed to have achieved the life she'd aimed for when she arrived in Castle Garden. Then one determined 'medical engineer' noticed that she left a trail of disease wherever she cooked, and identified her as an 'asymptomatic carrier' of Typhoid Fever. With this seemingly preposterous theory, he made Mallon a hunted woman."--
