Monica Mann has made it her life’s work to save lives. After an earthquake and tsunami hit the shores of Jamaica, she volunteers her trauma skills with Borderless Nurses. Calculating and methodical, Monica creates order out of whatever chaos she finds.

 
Until she finds the perpetually barefoot, impossibly masculine Trent Fairchild. No one can pin him down. No, really. He’s a pilot and manages a small fleet of choppers on his adopted island home. Hopelessly drawn to one another, they manage to slip away from the wreckage to get a little closer. And they get a lot closer than expected when aftershocks from the earthquake trap them in their own life-or-death scenario. Paradise has brought them together. Now will it tear them apart?






Here's an excerpt:


Monica glanced up at the gray skies and frowned. “So, Trent,” she began again. “Are you the only one shuffling the foreign medical staff around the island?”
 
He shook his head. “There are a few others. Why?” 

He kept his eyes on where he walked and avoided her questioning gaze. 

“Just wondering.” 

He didn’t buy that. “Just wondering?” 

“Seems like anyone could drive me to the clinic.” 

He walked her behind the hospital and up a short path to where his helicopter waited. “Anyone could drive you.” 

She hesitated when she saw her ride. “I thought you said you were driving me.” 

“I am. After a short flight to where my car is parked.” 

She turned a full circle. “Can’t we just drive?” 

Trent moved in front of her and removed his sunglasses. “It’s a short flight back to the airport, then a thirty minute drive. That’s if the roads are cleared.” 

“Can’t we just—” Her ice blue eyes never left his. 

“I didn’t kill you the first time, Monica. I won’t this time either.”

She swallowed. 

“It was better thinking you volunteered to take me instead of being the only person capable of it.” 

Actual fear hid behind her eyes. “Why’s that?” 

“I prefer flirting to flying.” 

A slow, easy smile met his lips. He knew then irrevocably that Monica thought about him at some point during her short stint on the island.
 
 
He replaced his sunglasses and reached for her hands. “How about a little of both?”

    1. All of my books stand alone, PJ. Characters to pop up from book to book so it doesn't hurt to read them in order.

  14. NOT QUITE ENOUGH sounds like a book I will enjoy. Disaster situations are different, and having been involved in a few, I am interested in "comparing notes." No romance involved in mine, but there is a certain energy and atmosphere involved when working them. I have not yet read your books, but I went to your website and checked out your other books. Read the blurbs and the excerpts and really liked what I saw. I will be reading some of them in the near future.

    Best of luck for a successful release of NOT QUITE ENOUGH.
