Rayne Michael has built her life around stability. After a vagabond upbringing, she has carefully built a predictable and satisfying life between her Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Capitol Hill and her job at a small conservation group. But when her organization's survival is threatened, her only option is to hatch a plan to save it with a charming, sexy, and totally unreliable man she can't seem to stay away from. Chase Allison is a freelance nature photographer whose work takes him around the world on a moment's notice, which suits him just fine - especially when he wants to shake loose from a relationship. Which he generally does after a few weeks of fun. Yet he is strangely captivated by Rayne and the passion that lurks behind her smoky gray eyes, but can his attraction compete with the allure of the open road? And can Rayne find a way to balance her need for stability with her need to be with free-spirited Chase?
