Is this their happy ending?
After her plans for a storybook wedding are derailed by a shocking discovery days before the big event, Ava Bradley retreats to a tranquil beach cottage. Days of intense soul-searching turn into nights of passionate yearning when she clashes with her infuriatingly arrogant and incredibly sexy Hideaway Island neighbor. Derek Patrick is tempting her, not just as a lover but as a soul mate, and it’s a connection unlike anything she’s ever experienced before.
The up-by-his-bootstraps entrepreneur is proud to be mayor of the beautiful, secluded tropical island. Derek doesn’t need some social-climbing diva messing with his hard-earned serenity. Yet Ava keeps surprising him. When their no-strings affair leaves them both hungry for more, Derek is tempted to take their island affair to the next level. But Ava doesn’t intend to make her permanent home there...until a natural disaster threatens Derek’s beloved island, making them realize what matters most—a love too precious to lose.
“I know I shouldn’t have walked into your house and started cleaning, but I knocked and you didn’t answer. I just meant to straighten up a little but I got carried away.”
He just cocked his head to the side and looked at her.
“I was feeling restless,” she explained.
“I can tell.” He took off his gloves, tossed them onto the counter and came toward her. “You just can’t come into a man’s home and be bent over in his refrigerator without some consequences.”
“Consequences?” She swallowed hard. “How about a thank-you, you big jerk? Your house is a disaster and I’ve been working my fingers to the bone to make it habitable.”
“Oh, poor princess. Had to do some actual work and now she’s all worn-out.” He placed his big hot hands around her waist and she couldn’t think clearly.
“Shut up, Derek.”
“Okay.” He placed his mouth over hers and gave her a shockingly sexual kiss, and what was even more shocking was that she let him. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back. It wasn’t something she could control anymore.
In Mine at Midnight, you’ll meet Ava and Derek, two strong-willed people who want nothing to do with each other or falling in love. Join them on beautiful Hideaway as they figure out who they are and discover that they can’t live without each other.
