I pull up to the hotel for a business meeting and nearly hit runaway bride Samantha Dare, my best friend’s little sister. We once shared the hottest kiss of my life until her brother put an end to us before we could begin.

Wearing her wedding dress and in a panic, she looks to me for an escape. And though I shouldn’t get involved in her scandalous life, when I see the hurt in her eyes, I can’t say no.

A quiet island, just the two of us. No rules. No past. No one telling us no.

She may be off-limits but I can’t resist. Being alone together reignites our passion and shows all the ways we’re a perfect fit.

Until we return home—to her vengeful ex and her brother who doesn’t want us romantically involved.

I have every reason to walk away, except I can’t. Because Samantha isn’t a fling.

She’s everything. And this time, I’m not letting her go.
