She’s running from her past. He’s building a future. A little blackmail and few cocktails might just shake things up.
Disgraced socialite Stella Marino’s exile to the sleepy beach town of Destiny feels like punishment-until she strikes a deal with Matt Lancaster, her charming but stubborn coworker. She’ll keep quiet about his pop-up clubs siphoning business from her father’s hotel if he lets her move in.
Matt loves his adopted hometown and dreams of owning a nightclub, but his fiery new boss is testing his patience. And his heart. As workplace clashes ignite unexpected chemistry, they’ll have to decide if risking it all is worth a chance at love.
