Caroline's failed marriage wasn't her fault--the blame for that falls squarely on her neglectful, cheating husband--but she still has to deal with the fall-out, including her embarrassed family and all the men who now think she's hot-to-trot. When the offer of a beach vacation comes her way, she jumps at it: two weeks by herself in the sun and sand is just what she needs.

But not all goodbyes are forever.

Six months and many sizzling-hot letters later, Caroline and Tom are together again, this time in paradise. Tom's R&R feels like heaven on earth, a place where war doesn't exist. Neither of them want these seven days--and nights--to ever end.

For one week in Hawaii, the past is irrelevant and the future...
