Island Breeze

Cody North is a busy man. An ex-cop, he has a full life as proprietor of Island Breeze condos and as the father of a teenage boy. Bree Trehearn is on the run, wanting to get as far from rural Indiana as possible. It doesn't take long for Cody to wish that Bree, her cat Gabriel, and her car full of computer parts had stayed back in Indiana instead of coming to rest on his beach. When Bree complicates matters by "modernizing" his business, he's sure it's all a nightmare waiting to happen. Then Bree disappears, and it takes all of Cody's police skills and his newfound faith to find her. Nothing in his life before Bree could prepare him for his role as her rescuer-but nothing after she "breezes" into it seems right without her!
