Available in EPUB and MOBI formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

Cassie Monroe is burned out, broken down, and banished to a tropical paradise she never wanted to visit. All she needs is two weeks to recharge before diving back into the corporate chaos that defines her. What she doesn't need is Rafael Delgado, her annoyingly perfect next-door neighbor with sun-kissed skin, an easy smile, and a maddening ability to see right through her carefully constructed walls. Rafe has built his life around simple pleasures: morning surf sessions, sunset cocktails, and the kind of peace that can't be scheduled or optimized. The last thing he's looking for is a beautiful workaholic who treats relaxation like a hostile takeover. But when Cassie's armor starts to crack, revealing glimpses of the woman she used to be, he can't resist the challenge of showing her what she's been missing. Between stolen kisses under starlit skies and days that blur into passion-filled nights, Cassie discovers a version of herself she'd forgotten existed. But when the real world comes calling with the promotion she's always wanted, she'll have to choose between the life she fought so hard to build and the love that's teaching her how to breathe again. Sometimes paradise isn't a place—it's a person willing to catch you when you fall. A steamy slow-burn romance about second chances, island magic, and finding your way back to yourself.
