Saving Sofia (Russo Sisters)

He'd give his life to meet her. He just didn't think it would actually come to that ...

Sofia Russo thinks the cute guy in the life vest is just another tourist taking one of her Central Coast kayak outings. When an accident nearly turns him into shark bait, she learns that her client--an English professor from the local university--is an admirer who only signed up to get close to her.

Sofia has had a rough time since her parents' deaths, and her budding relationship with Patrick Connelly comes as a welcome relief. As they grow closer, she begins to think he might not be the only one in need of rescue.

Saving Sofia is the first book in Linda Seed's Russo Sisters series.
