Here’s my plan: Crash through the ceiling of my family’s business to become the best hotelier on the West Coast. Nothing rattles me when it comes to a challenge and hard work, but when I spot my almost one-night-stand in my lobby, I’m thrown totally off my game. Alejandra is my dream girl. The one I can’t forget who got away—literally. Which might explain why I blurt out to my meddlesome, matchmaking grandmother that Alejandra is my date for her fast approaching and highly choreographed eightieth birthday party.

She’s been on pause…

Some decisions are harder than others, but agreeing to a date with Drew isn’t one of them. He’s a charming and gorgeous curveball I didn’t see coming, but the more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember to play it safe. I’ve made a promise, and even though I’m now torn, I have to honor it in order to move on from the past.

Drew feels like my future, but I’m about to put everything I want in jeopardy.



Caroline's Review

✮✮✮✮


This was a lovely story!

"I've wanted to kiss you since that night, and if the opportunity presents itself, I'm going to take it."

One night, Alejandra meets Drew in a bar. She can't take her eyes off him. Unfortunately, she has to leave before they really get a chance to get to know one another. Nine months later, she meets him again. And, this time, he's not letting her out of his sight. Unfortunately, she's not quite ready to get involved with him. She made a promise to someone special that she aims to keep, but Drew ticks all the boxes, which makes it hard to keep him at arm's length. And, let's not forget the electric connection between them.

"My blood is on fire. My head is in the clouds. My feelings are magnified. She is everything pure in this world."

Drew Auprince is part of a famous hotelier family. He's been stung by love before and is wary of letting anyone in. However, Alejandra caught his eye months earlier and, now that she's appeared in his life again, he's planning to keep her there. Unfortunately, she's not falling at his feet like women normally do, so he's got his work cut out for him. He play the patience game - as long as they are moving forward.

"He feels like home and an adventure. He gives me wings and a safety net."

This was a such a lovely story about two lovely people. Alejandra is independent, caring and loyal. I loved her dedication to her job and her determination to make things work. She's generally a goody-two-shoes but Drew and the feelings he evokes in her pushes her out of her comfort. Drew is downright gorgeous! I loved his respect for Alejandra and how he leaves her room to grow. I loved his desire and passion for her - they were sizzling together. I adored how well they understood one another. This was a great closing chapter to the Auprince family story. It was fab seeing all his family one last time!

Excerpt



“Is it okay if I take this seat?” a man asks. The masculine voice is deep, seductive. Friendly.

That’s what resonates deep inside me, and I don’t have to think twice about my answer. I also don’t have to turn my head to know who’s asking. “Sure.”

“I’m Drew,” he says as he gets comfortable beside me.

I take a moment to breathe in his clean, spicy scent before I look at him. “Alejandra.” “It’s nice to meet you, Alejandra.”

“You, too.” Up close, he’s even better-looking. Eyes a shade of blue-green I’ve never

seen before, neat hair longer on top than the sides, broad shoulders that fill out his tailored suit coat. I’d venture his outfit cost more than my monthly mortgage.

He notices my glass of water and waves a hand at the bartender. A thick black watch peeks out from his sleeve. His hand is big, capable-looking. “Can I buy you a drink?”

With the way my pulse is racing, he absolutely can. I may need several to calm my nerves. “I think I saw a blood orange margarita on the menu.”

“Good choice.”

“Hey, Drew,” the bartender says. “What can I get you?”

“Two blood orange margaritas, please. On the rocks.”

“You got it.” He drops a cocktail napkin in front of Drew and one in front of me. “You seem to know a lot of people,” I say.

“A few. What about you?”

“I’m here with my sister and two friends. They’re on the dance floor.”

“It’s lucky I got to you before someone else, then.”

I can't get my head down. It’s a good thing my light brown skin doesn’t give away my blush easily. Are there other people here? All of a sudden it doesn’t feel like it.

“Looks like you took one for the team,” he says next.

“What?” His knee taps mine as he swivels and nods to my boot.

Oh, that. I grin. What a nice way to put it. Not only is Drew the hottest-looking man in this bar, but he’s decided I’m caring rather than klutzy, something no stranger has done in the five weeks I’ve been injured. “Team captain right here,” I say.

“Your T-shirts have a ‘W’ on them, don’t they?”

It takes me a second to follow his train of thought. Wonder Woman. “Laying it on a little thick, aren’t you?” I tease.

He smiles and I’m hit not only with flirty intensity, but sincerity, too. He might be coming on strong, but his compliment is genuine. “Is it working?”
