As an extreme-sports mogul, billionaire Micah Sinclair is comfortable taking risks. But nothing-and no one-has ever challenged him like Tessa Sullivan. He’s fascinated by the woman who’s overcome so much, including the loss of her hearing. The petite blonde dynamo, a small-town restaurateur on the Maine coast, is the most courageous person he knows, and he wants her in his bed. Now all he has to do is convince Tessa to explore their desire. After a lifetime of loss, Tessa’s finally come to terms with her limitations. Or she would, if a certain sexy businessman weren’t pushing her to want more. And to want him. All her remaining senses are clamoring for her to touch, taste, and feel. But her doubts tell her to go slow when their passion gets too hot. Micah’s determined to prove to Tessa that she can still have everything she’s ever wanted, including his love. But will she listen to her head-or her heart?
