Attending the charity masquerade ball was my chance to let loose for one night. And as soon as I see him, I let the handsome stranger show me the hottest night of my life. Except then I learn he isn’t a stranger. He’s my new boss. Tessa I’m Windward born and bred. I love my family, my town, and my dream job managing my hotel. But now we’ve been bought by Langston Hotels. Cue stress and panic. I’ll do anything to make sure they don’t ruin the charm and turn my hotel into a slick, modern, soulless shell. What I wasn’t counting on was jet-setting hotelier Ambrose Langston. Handsome, bossy, with a wide workaholic streak. It doesn’t take me long to realize he’s also the man I let do very wicked things to me. Ro Transforming the Windward Resort is next on my plan. I’m on a mission to make Langston Hotels thrive and rub my father’s face in it. What I never expected was the locals of Windward being less than happy with my acquisition. And I definitely wasn’t expecting Tessa Ashford. I’ve always been professional with my employees, unlike my philandering father, but smart, beautiful Tessa—the mysterious woman who rocked my world—makes it a challenge. Working side by side, all I can think about is her. I never stay. I work, then leave. But she has me questioning everything. Then the strange “accidents” start happening. Someone doesn’t want me in Windward. Now, I need to keep Tessa safe from whoever wants me gone.

I never expected to become a single mom. Back in my Colorado hometown, all I have time for is work and raising my grieving nephew. I don’t have time for a man. Especially a tall, dark, and broody one. Allie I’ve swapped city life for small town. Designer suits for a housekeeping uniform. And don’t get me started on my lack of sleep. But I’d do it all again in a heartbeat to take care of my nephew. Now my life revolves around running hotel housekeeping at the Langston Windward and taking care of my kiddo. Oh, it also involves trying to avoid our cold, scowling, ex-military head of security. Everywhere I turn, I see Caden Castro and his muscled body and inky-black eyes. And every time I see him, he’s watching me. Caden As head of security for Langston Hotels, my job is to fly in, upgrade security, then fly out. Since I left the military, I keep my life simple and avoid distractions. Works helps me escape the memories and guilt that never go away. Except, since I came to Windward, all I can think about is Allie Ford. It isn’t just her long legs and lean body, it’s her fierce attitude and spirit. But she’s a hard-working single mom, and I’m a man with nothing to offer. Then a group of dangerous guests into extreme sports arrive. They have trouble written all over them, and when Allie gets sucked into that trouble, it changes everything. Whatever line I have to cross, I’ll do it to keep her safe.
