Karen Whitaker promised herself she'd never trust another man. So when a castaway shows up at her island hotel claiming to be a hotshot billionaire, she's not falling for it. She's caught off guard by his good looks, muscular build, and natural charm, but with no way to pay, he'll have to work for his room & board.

When billionaire businessman Mike Collins set out to buy a piece of paradise, he never dreamed a storm would leave him shipwrecked on the tiny island. With no money and no way of communicating with the outside world, he's at the mercy of the hotel's owner—a beautiful, petite blonde with a stubborn streak a mile wide. He's not afraid of working hard to put the hotel back together, but as their passion ignites, he worries what will happen if he reveals the truth about why he came.

Karen's decided never to risk falling in love again, but as the days pass, the walls around her heart may be starting to crumble. With Mike's secret agenda between them, is their connection strong enough to weather the storm?
