Serenity Hansom has spent years building her national spa empire to escape the shadow of her father’s federal crimes. But when a rogue wave at a high-society Miami wedding nearly takes her life, she is rescued by the one man she’s spent a decade trying to forget: Damien Morgan.
Damien is a powerful billionaire heir who views love as a dangerous delusion. He’s the man who provided the evidence to imprison Serenity’s father, yet he is the only one who can keep her safe when his own business rivals target her for revenge. When their one-night stand leads to an unexpected pregnancy, Damien offers a cold, calculated solution to protect his legacy: a marriage of convenience.
He promises security and a life of Miami luxury on Star Island. She wants the one thing he swears doesn't exist, real, unconditional love.
As her sister’s dark schemes resurface and a dangerous kidnapping plot threatens their unborn child, Serenity must decide if she can trust the "bad boy" who broke her family, or if she is simply a pawn in a billionaire’s game of justice.
USA Today Bestselling Author, Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.
During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.
She’s always been determined. She is amazing, adventurous and assured on a regular basis. Her website is www.victoriapinder.com.
