Publisher's Synopsis
Elsa Raven has always been a bit on the competitive side, paying her way through college on a demanding and unique scholarship program pitting her intellect against her sports skills. Her long red hair and emerald green eyes, paired with a smooth athletic build make her desired by any man that crosses her path but her strong will and need to be the best turns most away. Now she faces her greatest competition yet, a three day trial in sunny California and the winner takes away a generous scholarship which will complete her college career. Naive in the ways of love, she isn't prepared when the man of dreams competes his way into her life. Jacob Raven has spent the last three years in the deep seas, miles below the surface on tour in Naval Submarine, The Voyager. He's worked hard to be the best, and intents to keep that title when he enters the same competition as his new step-sister Elsa, intending to win the scholarship and begin his college career after serving his term. Jacob's irresistible looks, deep ocean blue eyes and a trim, muscular body provide him with more woman that he can handle and yet, his arrogant side makes it difficult to find the one that is willing to stay forever. Meeting the step-sister he has heard so much about, he finds himself drawn in to her beauty, but will she prove to be more than he can handle? Elsa's mother Kerry has remarried to her third husband David Raven and though she isn't thrilled with getting to know yet another man in her life, this one seems to be a good influence on her wild but loving mother. After hearing his son, and her new step-brother, Jacob has finished his Navy tour and is heading to California along with them, Elsa prepares herself to deal with her competition swiftly but finds herself drawn to him in an irresistible way. With the competition a week away, and two children entering, the Ravens elect to take a road trip from their home town in Utah to the rally point in California. Can the two competitive lovers put aside their need to be the best for the sake of love?
