Ariana Costas may have moved to Vermont, but the college professor's still a Jersey girl at heart-at least according to her wacky Greek family, a lovable clan of eccentrics that includes one spirited, foot-stomping monkey. The Costas's latest moneymaking caper-impersonating members of that other peculiar family, the Addamses-has made them infamous in their small town of Ocean Isle, NJ. No wonder Ari couldn't wait to escape! Then her twin sister, Zoe, disappears, and Ari comes running home to find out what happened. The very last thing she expects is to be shot at…and rescued by a handsome hunk in a black leather jacket.

Wrong twin, right woman? Detective Quinn Donovan's first glimpse of the wind-blown beauty with the raven hair and unmistakable profile is like déjà vu all over again. If this lady isn't Zoe, it's someone who looks exactly like her. Now Ari is in trouble deeper than the Atlantic at high tide, and Quinn just may be the right man to protect her…even if it means giving up his well-guarded secrets. But how is he supposed to resist this sensual, fiercely independent woman while carrying out a dangerous mission that could get them both killed?

As an all-out search to find the missing Zoe brings these two confirmed loners closer together, all Quinn and Ari have to do is live long enough to enjoy it....
