He's a wealthy bachelor tired of hollow relationships. She's a small-town woman who's only ever dreamed of a love like his. When their worlds collide, sparks fly—but so do the rumors.

Colt Walker has everything—money, power, and the kind of charm that makes women swoon. But after years of being chased for his bank account instead of his heart, all he wants is something real. A business trip to Angel Cove was supposed to be just another weekend of networking—until he meets her. Bree Harris, the one woman who sees him, not his fortune. And for the first time in years, Colt feels truly alive.

Bree knows all about life's hardships. A battle with illness stole her teenage years, forcing her to grow up faster than most. She doesn't have time for shallow romance—until Colt, the sinfully handsome older man, turns his attention her way. What starts as a heated attraction quickly becomes something deeper, something neither of them expected.

In a town where opinions run wild and passion burns hot, Colt and Bree must fight for the one thing that truly matters—the love neither of them saw coming.
