I'm back on Anna Maria Island for a fresh start-and manage to scrape a Porsche in a crowded parking lot. Of course it belongs to Liam Carter: my dad's best friend, a brooding billionaire who barely speaks. I'm a klutzy, panicked mess. He's weirdly calm.
When a storm floods my apartment, he offers up his guest house-without realizing who I am. Now I'm living in luxury, sipping his gourmet coffee, and catching glimpses of the man behind the silence.
He watches me dance while I clean. His daughter, Ella, reads with me on the patio and invites me to dinner. I'm falling for both of them-but especially him.
Liam's grieving his wife after her death from a tragic car accident. He's older. Off-limits. And saying what he feels? That might be the hardest thing for him to do.
But something's shifting between us-slow and undeniable. He can't keep his distance forever.
And when the moment comes, something's gotta give... even if it risks everything.
