The Sands of Malibu
She was a policewoman with the LAPD, on vacation in Malibu. Work was far from the mind of silver-blond, violet-eyed Carlyn Thomas when she first met the dark, dashing Nick Sandini.

She had never allowed a man the liberties he took for granted. One look, one touch, and she was aflame, afraid of the depths of her feelings, joyous in the discovery of love. Until her vacation ended, Nick vanished, and she was plunged into the most dangerous undercover assignment of her career.

She'd find Nick later, she thought. Until he found her--the woman he thought he knew...a woman whose life depended on not letting him discover the truth.
