Until I found her.

Broken and bruised from an accident that nearly took my life, Cora was the nurse who cared for me. She not only tended to my wounds, but for a brief time, she healed my heart as well.

But, our lives were destined to take different paths and I never thought I’d see her again.

Three years later when she moves into my small town, I can’t help but wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something.

Cora is seeking a new beginning. For years, I’ve been wandering the streets of this town, searching for something too.

Maybe she’s the answer to my prayers.

And then he showed up.

Growing up in a small town, I had one singular goal — get the heck out. After high school graduation, I never planned on coming back.

But, sometimes life can throw some serious curveballs, and when I’m fired from my job, I go to the one safe place I can think of — my family’s inn.

And that’s where I meet him.

Aiden Fisher is a British artist who has taken up residence across the hallway. He’s wicked hot, a huge flirt and has one of the sexiest accents I’ve ever heard.

Suddenly the idea of this small town doesn’t sound so horrible.

But can I trust a man I just met... with my heart?

And your enemies closer.

I knew Leilani Hart was trouble from the minute she stepped foot into our small town.

With her big city ideas and hotel heiress reputation, I know she’ll turn our picturesque island into a tacky tourist trap if given the opportunity.

She’ll have to go through me first.

From our first meeting, we’re like fire and ice, and I can’t help but wonder what it would be like to pin her down and melt some of those frigid layers right off.

I’ve never believed in love, but for her, I just might be willing to risk it all.

Even if it means falling... for the enemy.

Until I found her.
