One Step Ahead

by Donna Kimel Vitek

She'd been shanghaied! One minute she was relaxing aboard the Rosalie, the next a modern-day pirate had taken charge. Callie Simpson's St. Croix vacation was geared to give her a change of pace. Expecting island calm, she never dreamed she'd be swept into international intrigue by an irresistible reporter on the run from a dangerous group of right wing radicals. Jonathan Hunter commandeered her rented boat, then proceeded to commandeer her heart as they made their way to St. Thomas. How could Callie not help him get back to Houston, then on into the heart of Mexico, and even Europe, as he pursued a story that could affect the future of the nation ?Shared danger. Jon insisted, was a powerful aphrodisiac. Surely it was working now. In a few short weeks Ion had come to mean everything to her. But could she discover what she meant to him without risking her life?
