The second rule? No drama.
For Jess Chavez, a week in Maui is hardly a dream vacationânot when her sister expects her to be the perfect maid of honor. Not only does Jess have to fake perfection, but she canât let anyone know sheâs unemployed and barely scraping by. Above all, she needs to steer clear of Connor Blackwood, the sexy groomsman who broke her heart five years ago.
A family wedding offers Connor the ideal opportunity to convince everyone heâs no longer an irresponsible playboy. If they see heâs changed, they might support his decision to leave the family winery and strike out on his own. With so much at stake, the last thing he needs is an alluring distraction like Jess.
 When Jess and Connor end up together, exploring the islandâs lush, tropical beauty, the sparks between them become impossible to ignore. Throwing caution to the wind, they decide to make their own rules.
 Five days of passion. No strings. No tears. No promises. What could possibly go wrong?
