A bright and talented environmental engineer, Goldie Vreeland understands facts and figures, but Max Corda, her secret office obsession, remains a puzzle. On the eve of a business trip to a coastal island, fate intervenes, pairing her with her sexy crush. As she thinks about sharing the same space with Max for a week, her world veers dangerously off course.
Fueled by success as engineer and president of his family’s firm, recently divorced Max needs to jumpstart his life. When his father unexpectedly assigns him to Goldie’s project, his closely guarded attraction to her comes front and center. Thoughts of spending a week alone with this beautiful intelligent woman make his internal compass glitch.
Romance stirs with the island breeze, so simple when they’re hundreds of miles away from normal. But as Goldie and Max return to reality, will they discover real love is more than a game?
Read an Excerpt
“Those lips,” I said, the words slipping off my tongue.
“Excuse me?”
His question broke my trance. “Oh, Lord. I’m sorry I—”
“Wait. You feel it, too, don’t you?”
I hesitated then nodded.
Max leaned toward me. “You know, I’ve been trying to get a read on you tonight, but I’m pretty rusty at all this.”
“Let’s get one thing straight, Max. There’s nothing about you that’s rusty.”
A smile quirked at the corner of his mouth. “The word means nothing to you because you’re young and beautiful.”
I crossed my arms over my chest. “You really think a lot about this age thing, don’t you?”
He sighed. “I’m thirty-one, Goldie.”
“Well, lucky for you my ceiling’s a good thirty-three.”
He bit back a smile, his eyes growing softer, warmer. “I like you, Goldie.”
“I like you, too, Max.”
“I really want to kiss you.”
“So, what’s stopping you?”
“The very real possibility I won’t be able to stop,” he said with a reverent tone.
About the Author
I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring recipes on the lighter side of southern comfort foods. I’m a member of Heart of Carolina Romance Writers, and I love relaxing on my back porch to read and write. These days I take walks around my neighborhood, but when I was sixteen, I hiked the Grand Canyon with a group of friends. I love watching television dramas (in no special order): Palm Royale, The Buccaneers, The Bear, Mary and George, Emily in Paris, Outlander, Shrinking, Shogun, Bridgerton, Outer Banks, Stranger Things, The Crown, and Peaky Blinders and reading a great romance book.
