[Sullivan Brothers 02] • Resisting Temptation

Dane Sullivan has spent the last ten years getting over the death of his wife. Not the typical widower, he avoids women, preferring the company of his two dogs to dealing with the hectic dating scene. Coerced by his brothers to spend a week in the Maldive Islands, Dane agrees simply to get the two off his back. But when he has a chance encounter with a beautiful woman known only as Charly, he thinks a random hookup might be just what he needs to move on with his life.

Charly Malone hasn’t had a vacation in years. Between dealing with her two teenagers, her no-good ex-husband, and a demanding job, sometimes she wishes she could leave it all behind. That’s exactly what she does when she decides to take a vacation to the Maldives. Her mission is to get her freak on, and when she meets Dane, she finds a willing partner.

The two enjoy a hedonistic week in each other’s arms, believing they will never see each other again. But months later, they run into each other–living in the same city! Charly sees it as fate. Dane sees only the drama and pain that being in a relationship brings. He already lost one woman. Will he give Charly chance? Or will he be too busy resisting temptation?
