Monica Chambers does not take vacations. She finally does - and ends up on the wrong island. When a booking mix-up lands Monica and her two best friends on a private Aegean island owned by Xander Vasilis, a controlled and quietly formidable Greek shipping heir, she expects an awkward night and an early morning ferry. What she doesn't expect is to stay. Or to talk. Or to find herself sitting on the edge of the world at sunset with a man who has more walls than windows - and who keeps, somehow, letting her see through them anyway. As a relentless storm cuts the island off from the outside world, days turn into something neither of them anticipated. Shared dinners, quiet conversations, and unexpected moments begin to chip away at carefully built walls. Monica discovers that beneath Xander's composed exterior is a man who has forgotten how to trust. Xander begins to see that Monica's quiet strength has the power to change far more than his plans. But paradise cannot last forever. When the storm passes, real life-and the choices they've both been avoiding-will be waiting on the mainland. Sometimes the greatest distance isn't measured in miles of open sea... it's the space between two guarded hearts.
