A small town, opposite side of the tracks, secret identity romance from NY Times Best Selling Author Samantha Chase

Maisie Quinn is on the run. Sort of.

Desperate to escape her overbearing family and an arranged marriage to the absolute worst man, Maisie only has one month to prove to everyone she can make it on her own. When she finds out the Lakeview Harbor Resort is looking for an interior designer, she jumps at the chance. Not only has interior design always been her dream, but it'll give her the freedom she desperately wants. She just can't let on just how desperate she is...or who her family is. And it would all be fine if not for a rogue turtle and a storm completely derailing her plans—what's a little breaking and entering to seek shelter when it already feels like your life is falling apart?

Axel Hayes is living his best life. Finally.

After years spent forced to be on his own, Axel is finally a part of something big and has found purpose helping his best friends bring the Lakeview Harbor Resort back to life. He might not have the same kind of money as his friends, but he's not afraid to get his hands dirty and do a little manual labor. When he's tasked with hiring an interior designer, he's determined not to let anyone down. But when the last applicant shows up late and he catches her trying to break into the resort, he's torn. Her designs are perfect, but can he trust someone who was trying to break and enter?

When the storm leaves Maisie and Axel stranded at the resort, falling into bed together feels like the best way to pass the time—who doesn't love a weekend fling? But when the storm clears and Axel discovers who Maisie really is, he'll have to decide what matters more—that she lied or that she could be his chance at the future he never thought he could have.
