A totally unputdownable second-chance romance - characters with an unbeatable chemistry and a gorgeous HEA! It's hard to stay professional when you're stuck on a tiny island... with your ex Carrie Briggs is on the cusp of a career breakthrough. About to be made partner at her accountancy firm, she's been given one more hoop to jump through before it can be made official. And she could think of worse clients to work with - because world-renowned billionaire Joe Hettich is flying her out to his private island in the Caribbean.

Their past will become their future. Their scars will be reopened. Clark Layton has the world at his feet. He is the CEO of one of the largest oil companies in the world and he has a fiancée most men would kill for. Then why, the night before his wedding, is he still thinking about everything he lost when he walked out on Dayna Cross? Dayna didn't intend to take the helm of Subsea Petroleum. But events beyond her control left her no choice. And she can handle it, mostly. She can juggle the long hours, the chauvinistic men, and a broken heart. What she can't deal with is Clark Layton swanning back into her life and threatening to break down her walls. They are rival CEOs and they are in a dogfight for a lucrative new pipeline. But as truths of their past begin to surface, business won't be the biggest battle they enter into.
