Summary
Summary
Swept away . . . - A Caribbean treasure hunt wasn't Shaye Burke's usual style, but here she was on a beat-up old sloop with no engine. It also meant spending two weeks with the rugged and sexy Noah VanBaar, who watched her like a predator. He challenged and confused her, pitting primal need against her vaunted self-control. Shaye was afraid of being swept away by this all-consuming passion and she was afraid not to be . . .

Booklist Review
Matchmaking comes as easily to Victoria Lesser as breathing. Then two of the couples she has brought together decide to turn the tables, and set up a match for her with a treasure-seeking professor who's sailing to Costa Rica. Usually fearless, the intrepid Victoria gets cold feet, and talks her niece, Shaye, into coming with her. The professor shows a little caution, too he's brought along his nephew, Noah. As the four of them head for their exotic destination, sparks fly between Shaye and Noah, and the older couple can't help but fan the flames. This classic Delinsky romance, originally published in paperback in 1987, dramatizes a two-generation battle of the sexes, with both parties in each pair thoroughly enjoying the war. Sexy and steamy, this novel will introduce versatile and popular Delinsky, who is still going strong, to a whole new generation of readers.--Mosley, Shelley Copyright 2009 Booklist
