Alyssa looked at the monstrous waves off the northwestern point of the island. Surfers were scattered throughout the water, working to catch a big wave. She secured her camera bag over her shoulder and swung back to face Beck as he eased the surfboard off the top of his rental car. “Do you have a death wish?”

Beck laughed and gestured down to the water. “These are small waves.”

“Suicidal,” Alyssa muttered, the shark attack still fresh in her mind. It would be a few days before she got back in the water.

“I promise I’ll be safe.”

Beck rested the surfboard against the car and pulled his T-shirt off. Alyssa lost the ability to disagree with him as she studied the well-defined lines of his chest. The scars saddened her as she hated to think of Beck being in pain, but they added to his appeal. He was a fierce warrior who had been through battle and could protect her from anything. He worked his wetsuit up his legs and she almost gasped at the beauty of the muscles in his shoulders and arms. Finally, he pulled his wetsuit over his torso and shoulders and she found she could breathe again.

“Thanks for coming to watch me,” Beck said, grinning at her as he grabbed his board.

“Sure. I love watching warriors face certain death.”

He arched an eyebrow at her and she blushed. Could he read between the lines and sense her imagination in overdrive with visions of him and his bare chest?

He unlatched the trunk of his car and pulled out a beach chair. “There’s a great place to watch over here and it should be good for photos.”

“This is my island, remember?”

He laughed and gestured for her to walk in front. She reached for the chair, but he held onto it. “What kind of warrior would allow his lady to carry her own chair?”

“Okay, I deserved that.” The awkward rhythm of her walk had color creeping up her face. Beck didn’t seem to be bothered by it, but she still didn’t want to be walking in front of him and having him be reminded that she wasn’t perfect.

Beck set up her chair on a nice spot at the edge of the point then started picking his way down the steep hillside path to the rocks where surfers were entering the water.

“They’re all nuts,” Alyssa muttered. “Beck?” she called out.

He turned back and smiled at her. The sun glinted off his dark hair and his smile lit his bright blue eyes. She was lucky to be sitting down.

“Please be careful.”

“Anything for you, my lady.” He gave a sweeping bow and a wink.

Alyssa sent up a little prayer as he disappeared from her sight and then reappeared at the base of the hill on a huge boulder. He studied the waves crashing on the lower boulders around him, then dove into a swell that was receding from the boulders and let it carry him and his board forward for a minute. A new wave rushed
