Paul is good with books, logic, and statistics, but emotions? Not so much. He experienced betrayal as a child, and he vowed to never knowingly let it happen again. He built elaborate, protective barriers around his heart, against the dysfunction that is his family. He didn't see it coming when Rhees Williams came along, dragging her oversized duffel bag onto the deck of his scuba shop. He didn't see it coming when she appealed to his softer side. He didn't see it coming when she found her way into his heart.

Paul will do just about anything to keep Rhees from leaving the island - including making a deal he's not sure he can keep. In exchange for giving up his Coitus Club groupies, he'll lead everyone to believe she's the first girlfriend he's ever had. He doesn't know what it is that has him in awe of this cute all-around good girl, but inspires him to make some needed changes to his lifestyle. He's not even sure anyone can really change a lifetime of habit, circumstance, and genetics. You are who you are, of that he's sure. Isn't he?
