Her plan?

Ferry a client's plane to Aruba, play a little poker, get some sun…Not in her plan? An emergency landing on a volcanic island full of lunatics, an approaching hurricane, a dashingly annoying airstrip owner named Buck Shanahan (who seems as fond of poker as she is) and a lonely, lovesick alligator called Buster…

Sassy redheaded pilot Hannah Lamont

has no time for back-island bumpkins like Buck and his buddies–until the hurricane bears down, grounding her on tiny Treasure Island. Treasure, ha! Aside from a couple of ratty tiki huts, all this flyspeck can boast is a casino–and it''s right in the path of the storm.

The stakes

may be higher than she dreamed…and winning brings rewards she never expected.
