A winter romance from the shores of the Chesapeake to the paradise of Hawaii . . . matchmaker Freya won't stop until her friend Maggie and Navy SEAL Ryder find their happily ever after . . . Let me be crystal clear: I don't need a blind date. I'm a SEAL. Women toss sex at me like it's free candy in a Fourth of July parade. But I'm tired of hook-ups, short-term relationships, and mindless, hedonistic sexual encounters. No, wait. Scratch that last one. Point is, I want the kind of woman who will stick. Yeah, she'll drool at the sight of my standard-issue pecs and eight-pack, but she'll also put up with the baggage of Navy SEAL life. But this blind date with Maggie? One minute we're tearing each other's clothes off . . . and in the next, I'm in a deep freeze, face-to-face with the Ice Queen herself. That's fine. I can move on. Except fate has other plans, the kind that will pluck us from reality and drop us into a place that might actually tame the demons that come with one-too-many SEAL missions. With Maggie, I might find paradise. My only question is, will it last? Contains mature themes.
