Island Fever

"A Ranger, a pilot, and a doctor walk into a bar . . . " That was pretty much my life in Hawai'i until my two brothers got married. Now I'm the last man standing. Not a problem.

With an eight-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.

Contains mature themes.
