About this ebook

When a blue-collar bachelor unexpectedly falls for his friend's little sister, he'll risk everything to save the brainy beauty from the wilds of an island storm.

 Aidan Nolan has always been a lone wolf, a playboy extraordinaire and confirmed bachelor at forty-four. When he takes a job building high-end homes on Drake Isle, the last person he expects to run into is the cute-as-hell sister of a high school friend he hasn't seen in years. 

 And the last thing he expects is to feel his stone-cold heart stirring. 

 Nature photographer Jules McNerney is on Drake Isle for the most important assignment of her career. But when she realizes the sexy silver fox working construction up the beach is the teenage stud she crushed on for years, her photos are about to take a back seat to, well, him. 

 Summer storms don't have anything on the passion that explodes between them, but do Aidan and Jules have what it takes to survive a protective older brother and a fast-moving hurricane destroying everything in its path?

 If you like small town island romance, then you'll love this short novella in the Drake Isle series, a new story with familiar characters and its own complete happy ending!

Ratings and reviews

This is a book in The Drake Isle series and it is Aidan and Jules story and it is definitely a must read. Aiden doesn't do relationships or commitments but can that all change when he meets a woman that could change everything. Jules is on the Drake Isle to photograph a special kind of plant as she is a nature photographer and when she meets Aidan again especially as she used to have a crush on him will her assignment get even more interesting. Jules has been through so much and didn't think that she was ready for any type of relationship after what had happened and what she was still going through after the revelation of her last relationship and her walls were so high so that she could protect her heart from being broken again even though she had wanted Aidan for years she really wasn't ready to go there after the betrayal of her ex. Aidan has never felt like this before about a woman and he is wondering what has happened to Jules to make her so closed off but he is determined to get to the problem so that he can help her. Omg my heart went out to Jules and what she had been through and I loved how Jules and Aidan was so perfect for each other and I found myself hoping that they would get the happy ending that they both deserved. I couldn't put this book down as it was a real page turner and totally addictive and I can't wait to read more books in this series. I Voluntarily Reviewed a Copy of This Book.

great story. a love that was meant to be.

so sweet, love it❤
