After working my ass off for years with my best friend, we’ve finally hit a point where everything seems to be working out for us professionally. My friends think I need to live a little, so they set me up on a staycation with a list of things to do that will result in stepping out of my comfort zone. Never in a million years did I expect someone like Andy to completely uproot everything I thought I knew about myself. Andy Working crazy hours as an athletic trainer for a professional rugby team has been a dream come true. But recently, I’ve been wondering if there’s something more out there. The job and the hours are taking their toll, and it’s time to find some stability in my life. Meeting Penelope at my best friend’s wedding feels like a sign. I’m determined to create the life I’ve always wanted, and that starts with the woman I never saw coming. When a simple game of this or that leads to more, can we take a leap of faith?

The Case
2023
Can working together lead to something you never thought you could have? Larkin Being a social worker has been my only goal in life. Helping children and their families is what I live for. My methods may be unorthodox, but I always get the job done. When I’m not on the clock, I let the seriousness of my job float away. I’m not ashamed of who I am outside of work, but all of my best friends are starting to settle down, and it makes me realize…maybe partying isn’t the best way to relieve stress anymore. Getting paired with my arch nemesis at work only seems to heighten my stress and test every ounce of patience I have. But if this is how we make sure a child is safe, I’ll suck it up and do the job. Theo I have rules for a reason. It was the only way to stay safe when I was a child. Working as a social worker is my way of trying to save children—just like I was saved. The only problem is the beautiful bombshell who likes to drive me crazy at the office. She’s the opposite of me in every way. The chaos to my orderliness. If she weren’t so gorgeous, I’d have written her off a long time ago. Now, I just push her buttons to get a reaction out of her and see that redhead’s temper flair. When we’re forced to work together on the same case, can we put aside our differences for the betterment of the child? Or will the case turn into something bigger than we ever imagined.

Jane
Plain Jane
. It describes me more than I’d like it to. I’ve always played it safe. Instead of testing the waters myself, I use the pages of romance books to live vicariously the brave heroines. When one of my best friends has a destination wedding, I decide this is the week I’ll be who I’ve always wanted to be. So I set up a plan to have a one-night stand and use him to learn about what I truly like. The only problem is, I never saw a man like Pierce Vanstone coming.
Pierce
Owning a hotel and resort empire is all I know. Traveling around the world for most of the year doesn’t leave room for attachments, and I’m more than okay with that. When my home away from home is booked, I’m more than a little annoyed. That is until I see the beauty who’s staying there. My goal for the week is to get her under me by any means necessary. The chase only makes me want her more.
Can a vacation in a tropical paradise let you be who you always wanted to be? Or will the bubble pop once you go home?
