Could Have Been (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781487441654)

What happens on vacation stays on vacation... Or does it?

Fighting regret and grief over his wife's death, Joshua Campbell is sent to a resort in the Bahamas by his brothers as a way to recharge and unwind. All he expects to do is relax and maybe play a few games with his fellow vacationers. The last thing he wants is to hook up with anyone while memories of his late wife still haunt him.

Newly single Lauren Richardson's ex-husband's betrayal was enough to call an end to anything commitment-wise for a while. Relaxing on a tropical beach is a great way to rebuild her flagging confidence. She doesn't want any more ties, especially with a sexy Siksika man she runs into on a secluded part of the beach.

Joshua gives Lauren a fake name to hide his background, and a spark ignites that sets their libidos on fire. A few more encounters lead to a night of erotic pleasure, forging a bond that makes them wonder if their fun could go beyond their excitement in the sun. Tragedy strikes, ripping them apart, sending Joshua into a deeper sense of despair, and leaving Lauren wondering if she'll ever see the father of her child again.
