TV reporter Sandra Newman likes things her way.

And having sexy professor Adam Carroway between the sheets is no exception. Sure, she may have walked away from their hot fling once. But if she's spending her summer filming his shipwreck excavation, she intends to have him...again and again.

Fortunately, Adam is more than willing and it's full steam ahead in her bed...in his bed...on the beach.... In fact, there's something about this island that taps in to their deepest desires. Sex has never been hotter! When the last bit of treasure surfaces, however, will she stick to their agreement and walk away?

Cindi believes in love at first sight, good chocolate, cold champagne, that people who don't like animals can't be trusted, and that God obviously has a sense of humor. She also believes in writing fun, sexy romances about people she hopes readers will fall in love with.

Blessed with an overactive imagination and a love of reading, Cindi wrote her first story at age eight about the family's Siamese cat. At age 12 she submitted her first manuscript, hand-written and illustrated with crayon drawings, to Little, Brown and Company. She received a very kind rejection letter advising her to study hard and keep working and one day she might be a real writer.

In addition to writing, Cindi enjoys reading, quilting, gardening, hiking, and downhill skiing. She lives in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with her husband, who she met on a blind date and agreed to marry six weeks later, and three spoiled dogs.
