It was love at first sight. Will his arrival ruin it all?

The first time Maura saw the historic Candle Beach Hotel, she knew it was the perfect future site for the local historical society's museum. Now that it's on the market, she just needs enough money to buy it before some greedy developer swoops in and demolishes the crumbling building.

Experienced hotelier Aidan has been searching for his dream property for ages, so when his friend tells him about the old hotel for sale on the Washington coast, he's intrigued by the possibilities.

After Aidan catches Maura trespassing on the hotel property, unaware that it's been sold, her dreams are shattered and she wants nothing to do with the new owner. He's instantly intrigued by his gutsy visitor, but winning over her mind and heart isn't easy to do.

How can Aidan convince her that he's not the greedy developer she feared? Maura wants to believe he's there for the right reasons, but can she trust him?
