Eighteen months ago, Navy pilot Greg Marsters was banished from Wyndham Shores, Massachusetts after his marriage fell apart. Now he's returned to spend his shore leave restoring antique schooners for his old mentor so that he can buy a boat of his own. After making the biggest mistake of his life, Greg has vowed to steer clear of romantic entanglements, but he soon finds himself drawn to an old friend from high school. Melanie Grantham is the only person in town interested in hearing Greg's side of the story, and despite his promise to sail away alone the first second he can, Greg takes her up on her offer for the sexual healing they're both in desperate need of. Their hot nights throw him for a loop, and the sex is out of this world. But Greg can't forgive himself for the mistakes of his past. Will he leave Melanie behind again before he realizes he's been given another chance for true love?
