“Skylar Love. I’ve known you my entire life. You’re the reason I breathe, the reason I look forward to getting up in the mornings. I didn’t know what true happiness and love were until I came back to the island, to you, and I never want to let that go. I’ll love you forever and always.”

Luke called out. “You don’t want her. You want me. Well, here I am. You want to fight? Then drop the gun and fight me like a man, instead of going after a woman like the coward you are.” She peeked around the tree to find Luke holding his hands open wide.

The warm water snapped him out of his daze and he finished his hands alone, drying them before cupping her face and pressing his lips to hers in a punishing kiss. “He almost killed you.” “But he didn’t, Luke. He didn’t hurt me.” He leaned his forehead against hers. “It’s over.”

The hunger in his eyes told her everything she needed to know. He wanted her as much as she wanted him. There was nothing he could say to deny his attraction. No words would suffice after the look in his eyes. He cleared his throat. “This was a bad idea. I should have taken you somewhere cold and off the island.” “Maybe,” she teased. “But then I’d need your body heat to stay warm.

The door slid closed and Luke slumped against the back wall while he replayed the evening’s events. Amanda, Sky’s ex, the waiter, hell, the bartender. Anyone could have spiked that drink, but he didn’t understand why in the hell someone would want either of them dead. Luke ran his hands over his face, agitated that the night hadn’t gone as planned.

Luke Freakin’ Tanner was more than the hottest, most eligible bachelor. He was her first crush, and the only man whose presence made butterflies in her stomach do the limbo and dance the rumba. It sucked that his reason for asking her out had been a sham. “It’s a pity date, Olivia. Luke only asked as a favor to my brothers.”
