Kate Weston was a feisty Jill-of-all-trades who could fix plumbing and repair any car, but no adult education class had prepared her to face hotel owner Max Sorrenson draped in nothing but a towel! When she dropped her wrench in lustful embarrassment, causing a flood that soaked them both, the mirrored bathroom of his penthouse revealed her blushing in triplicate at least – and confirmed her belief that the hunk with the bad-boy grin could easily be a Playgirl centerfold! Kate had vowed to fill her life with grand adventures, but she'd never shared the fun… until one slightly stuffy pirate vowed to carry her off to his fantasy island. Kate believed in taking risks and moving on, while Max had silenced his private demons by building a world more safe than exciting… until he fell in love with a spirited gypsy. Could they bridge their very different lives by sharing Max's castle in the air?
