Everyone's taking bets. How long will it take for painter, party girl and certified city slicker Steff Callahan to go out of her mind in sleepy Emperor Bay?

Not long, Steff has to admit, if she can't find anywhere that sells a decent Shiraz. Or if her nosy neighbour has anything to do with it. Or if big, sexy, perpetually grumpy marine biologist Nate Somers continues to have a problem with everything she does.

Between making the biggest deal of his career and dealing with his trainwreck of a sister, the last thing Nate wants is another one-woman cabaret act on his doorstep. So why does he always wind up kissing Steff every time they're alone together? And what's he supposed to do if it turns out the loose cannon artist is the cause of half his problems... but the solution to the rest?All Rights Reserved
