Genevive's much-anticipated overnight business trip with her arrogantly sexy boss, Nick, has gone terribly wrong. Not only has Jack the computer nerd managed to tag along on the private plane to Maui, but Nick has turned out to be a corporate thief and a murderous psychopath who plans on killing off Jack and Genevive in a plane crash. Luckily, Jack has played enough flight-simulator computer games to crash-land the plane, leaving Genevive and himself alone on a desert island in the Pacific with only a guava tree and their soon-to-be-realized lust for each other to sustain them. Jack may be a nerd, but he has a great body and a real sense of chivalry. He's also an amazing lover, and the stranded couple's uninhibited desert-island sex scenes leave readers conflicted about whether to root for the rescue party or not. If they are rescued will the Nerd in Shining Armor go back to his mismatched clothes and computer games? Thompson's fun, sexy island adventure gets points for casting a nerd in place of a Fabio.
