They say when life closes one door, another
one opens.
This door happens to lead to paradise.
And a man I can never, ever have.
Still
grieving the loss of her sister who died two years ago, the last thing Veronica
"Ronnie" Locke needed was to lose her job at one of Chicago’s finest
restaurants and have to move back in with her parents. So when a window of
opportunity opens for her – running a kitchen at a small Hawaiian hotel – she’d
be crazy not to take it.
The only
problem is, the man running the hotel drives her crazy:
Logan
Shephard.
It doesn’t
matter that he’s got dark brown eyes, a tall, muscular build that’s sculpted
from daily surfing sessions, and a deep Australian accent that makes your toes
curl.
What does
matter is that he’s a grump.
Kind of an
asshole, too.
And gets
under Ronnie’s skin like no one else.
But the more
time Ronnie spends on the island of Kauai, falling in love with the lush land
and its carefree lifestyle, the closer she gets to Logan. And the closer she
gets to Logan, the more she realizes she may have pegged him all wrong. Maybe
it’s the hot, steamy jungles or the invigorating ocean air, but soon their
relationship becomes utterly intoxicating.
There’s just
one major catch.
The two of
them together would incite a scandal neither Ronnie, nor her family, would ever
recover from.
Forbidden,
Illicit, off-limits – sometimes the heat is worth surrendering to, even if you
get burned.
