Island Time 

A workaholic and a free spirit collide at a Pacific-Northwest island getaway in this romantic short story by a #1 New York Times-bestselling author.Off the coast of Washington lies Spruce Island, home to Rainshadow Lodge, the perfect summer retreat. Neither Mitch Rutherford or Rosie Galvez expect to find romance during their month-long visit to the rambling Victorian getaway. Mitch, an architect, is a workaholic on a deadline, while Rosie’s determined to relax and enjoy the scenery while preparing an environmental report. But despite-or perhaps because?-of their differences, they find themselves drawn to each other, and their lives are irrevocably changed by their stay at the lodge.Originally published in 1998 in That Summer Place anthology.
