A brand new older woman, younger man romance... It was supposed to be a typical business trip to Hawaii. During the day, I’d promote the new location of my bakery. At night, I’d relax on the lanai while sipping a glass of wine. But that all changes when I meet him. Sexy. Intriguing. Haunted. And easily fifteen years younger than me. I should walk away. The last thing I need after turning forty is a middle-age crisis in the form of an Australian Adonis. But something keeps drawing me back to him. So I make a proposition. One week. No last names. No expectations. It’s the perfect plan… Until I learn the true identity of my vacation fling. They say temptation can be dangerous. I didn’t realize it could be so deadly.

I came to Hawaii to get answers about my sister’s death. But that all changes when I meet her. Beautiful. Charming. Haunted. And the last thing I need in my life. But that doesn’t mean I can stay away from her, a powerful force pulling me toward her when all rationale tells me to keep my distance. So we make an agreement. One week. No names. No falling in love. It’s the perfect plan. Until a shocking revelation shakes my foundation to its core, leaving me to question everything I thought I knew about her. I knew this temptation was a disaster waiting to happen. I didn’t realize it would be so devastating.

One week. No names. No expectations. That was our agreement. We were supposed to walk away once our time in Hawaii was over. No matter what. But that was before I finally decided to take a risk and jump. And that’s precisely what being involved with Lachlan Hale is… A risk. Between the complications that go along with dating a celebrity and the real possibility that my ex-husband is still watching my every move, there are times I question whether it’s worth it. Whether I’m selfishly putting Lachlan’s life at risk, too. But like he promised… We’ll get through it. Together. Until the bottom drops in a way I never could have anticipated. Lines are drawn. Loyalties are tested. And I’m stuck in the middle, engaged in a fierce battle between my head and my heart. And there can only be one winner.

One week. No names. No expectations. That was our agreement. We were supposed to walk away after our time in Hawaii was over. No matter what. That was before… Before I learned who she is. Before I realized how interconnected our lives are. Before I fell in love. But our love isn’t the stuff fairy tales are made of. Demons lurk around every corner. Good doesn’t necessarily prevail over evil. And the knight in shining armor may not save the day. Not if her murderous ex-husband has anything to do with it. But Julia’s never been the type of girl who needs a knight in shining armor to save the day. She’s the type of girl who will pick up her own sword and fight for what she believes in. I just hope she’s finally learned to believe in herself.
