She's packing a new attitude to match her new erotic lingerie. She plans to turn her triple-X fantasies into reality for a no-strings-attached situationship. The impossibly gorgeous Alex Donovan has secrets. His philosophy: To live by the four-date maximum rule. Alex enjoys Maddie's playful wit and values their platonic relationship. He shipped her into the friend zone years ago. He knows firsthand how sex destroys friendships. But since arriving in Hawaii, her continuous flirting and guerilla seduction tactics make it hard—literally—to keep her in the platonic zone.
