Kasper by Piper Collins

Dr. Cate Browning was sharp, intelligent and, well awkward. After dedicating her professional life to marine conservation, Cate is granted a once in a lifetime opportunity to further her research in the Mediterranean country of Colovia. The destination is exotic and alluring, its appeal twofold: her long-time online acquaintance lives there.

Prince Kasper valued two things: privacy and his time at sea. When learning of an impending work-related visit from an enigmatic online peer, Kasper is surprised to learn the generic screen name belongs to a woman. Meeting the fiery Cate, his resolve and will power are put to the ultimate test.

At first, it is easy for the two to cast their feelings of attraction aside; neither wants to ruin the friendship they have built. But when the line between friendship and relationship is blurred, both Cate and Kasper find it harder to justify their reason to remain platonic. When danger strikes at sea, they realize their true feelings; but will it be too late?
