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.
