This contemporary romance is the first in a new trilogy set Roxanne St. Claire's popular "Barefoot Bay" featuring wealthy business partners who visit the sun-drenched island and the unlikely heroines who steal their hearts.

Zeke Nicholas has turned his mathematical genius skills into a mountain of money. But Zeke sits on that mountain all alone, longing for the one thing money cannot buy: a lifelong partner and true love. Zeke grew up near Barefoot Bay and is staying at the resort for a week while he's in town for a family event. Enter Mandy Mitchell...the maid. Except, Mandy is much more than that to Zeke—she was the object of his every teenage dream back in the days when she was known as "Mandy the Magnificent" and he had the unflattering high school nickname of "Ezekiel the Geekiel."

Zeke is no longer a geek—he's gorgeous. And Mandy doesn't feel so magnificent since her marriage fell apart and left her up to her eyeballs in debt and despair. The minute they meet again, Mandy knows he's exactly the kind of trouble she should avoid...but Zeke does have one thing Mandy needs to gain the independence she craves. Will he give it to her? One look at Mandy, and Zeke turns his relentless ability to get what he wants into a full-on seduction and he's ready to give her anything. But can Mandy face down the secrets of her past to find a fairy-tale future with Zeke?
