Sometimes the fiercest battles are fought in the heart.

As if dealing with personal tragedies wasn't enough, Evan Love's beachside tourist shop is mysteriously failing, and as the youngest brother in the family, he feels extra pressure to succeed. When he "copies" marketing tactics from a rival shop owner in desperation, the sexy owner tells him in no uncertain terms to back off. Intrigued by her spunk and charm, his initial attempts to apologize fail—but will winning her over end up leaving both their shops and her reputation in ruins?

Dusti Matson has been burned by men one too many times, and she's not about to succumb to Evan Love's charming frat boy persona. She's got a successful business to run, an ex giving her grief, and plenty of worries over a string of burglaries hitting shops in the area. Yet, as she gets to know Evan better and learns he's not just another handsome guy with an ego, her defenses are in danger of crumbling—but if it comes to a choice between success and love, which will she choose?
