A Single Rose - by Barbara Delinsky (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Victoria Lesser is due for some payback. The unrepentant matchmaker gets a taste of her own medicine when she's tricked into a fortune hunting trip that just happens to be led by an age-appropriate, adventurous--and single--professor. Luckily for Victoria, she brought her niece, Shaye, as a buffer. Unluckily for Shaye, the professor brought his nephew . . .

Like oil and water, Shaye and Noah don't mix--and now they're stuck together on a vintage sailboat heading toward Costa Rica and supposed pirate booty. As the sun and sea conspire to relax Shaye's hard-won self-control, the brash and impulsive Noah does the rest. And he won't stop until he tears down the walls of the sane and structured world that Shaye has built up around her . . .
