I need to get out of town … fast.
Scandal, betrayal, and a tarnished name have me fleeing my Manhattan penthouse with a lone suitcase and a manila envelope holding the hardest decision I'll ever have to make.
With no destination in mind, I land in a quaint beach town in South Carolina. I'm about to get lunch when my Christian Louboutin heel gets stuck in the decking. I'm desperate to rescue it when my hero appears.
A very moody, very heartbroken hero named Grant Dawson.
He's sensitive, protective, and absolutely gorgeous. I have to shield myself from the sun but mostly to avoid his glare. Grant doesn't take well to women from the big city … especially ones who wear expensive shoes.
Despite Grant's unwelcoming attitude, I decide to stay in town and rent a room from an elderly woman who sets me up with a job as a waitress. Imagine my surprise when I find Grant is my new boss, and he’s annoyed to be working with me.
Not one to bow down from a challenge, I work alongside Grant even if it kills me to do so. As I get to know him, I start to like the single father with a painful past. The more I care, the easier I find I could fall in love with him.
Grant doesn't trust women in heels for a reason. When I get the courage to open the manila envelope, I might once again prove him right when I walk out the door for good.
