Her wedding is less than a week to a nice person, who Katrina Spencer sadly reflects that she does not love. Needing time to think, she flees to her family owned island to decide whether she should break off her engagement or not, especially since she does not want to hurt her fianc who deserves the best, but she is also concerned about what she needs.

Dozing on the beach, she is awakened when FBI undercover agent Brock Denton scrambles ashore. She does not have to be a nuclear scientist to know that Brock has brought trouble to her haven. Not only does she still remember his searing kisses from their last encounter, but feels no man, including her future husband compares to him. However, Brock has brought more than just sexual danger to the woman he has never forgotten. His cover was broken, and he fled with smugglers wanting him dead. He fears he brought his danger to "Crazy Kat", but he is also frightened by how much he desires her. Passion and danger ignite as they flee his pursuers, but can this be love or just the heat of the moment?

This torrid romantic suspense thriller is at its delightful best when the lead couple share intimate interludes. However, the suspense subplot of the smugglers in pursuit relies too heavily on coincidence, starting with the first and only acceptable entity of Brock landing on Kat's beach. Still, the lead couple are fun to follow as they struggle with their sexual desires and the need to fight or flight. Toni Blake provides a fun tale.
