A Billionaire geek with a heart of gold. A gorgeous woman with a chip on her shoulder. Billionaire video game developer, Jimmy Martin, has a single goal for his week at the Coconut Island Resort; get everyone at the conference to play as much of his new game, H2O, as possible. Oh—and change the world by developing water systems through his game—just a tiny secret. What he doesn’t expect is the beautiful, frank, Caroline to be sitting at the back of the opening social, reading a Jane Austen retelling and eyeing the gamers with suspicion. Caroline Price only goes to the social because her brother guilts her into it, but the caveat is when the third nerd hits on her she’s out. The first is handsome enough, has read all of the Jane Austen books, and can almost carry on a normal conversation, but when he suggests that there was more to her last breakup than her ex playing video games all the time, she writes him off. Until he asks her to come to the team building activity the next morning. After a dare that turns into a date, a race for crème Brulee and a romantic stroll along the beach, Jimmy is hoping Caroline is different from all the other girls he’s dated, and Caroline is wondering how many layers Jimmy has. When tragedy strikes Caroline’s brother, and she believes Jimmy’s games might be the cause, they will both have to decide if they can look past the surface of the other to see what’s underneath.
