Twelve years older. Twice as dangerous. And entirely too used to being obeyed. I should fear him.

If his company invests in my boutique Santa Monica hotel, I can finally escape my family. My destiny. And run my hotel on my terms, free from my father’s mafia world. I didn’t expect a man who looks like a god and oozes sex appeal. He’s silver-tongued. Charming. And dangerous. Because behind the mask of a polite and calculated businessman, I glimpse a man who would kill for me. A man whose eyes burned with desire before he kissed me. It should serve as a warning. But instead of running, I’m ready to make a deal with the devil. Because he’s pure sin. And I want to succumb to temptation…”

Her chosen family — brilliant but grieving Mia Gray, and Mia’s quietly gifted daughter Lila — need healing no hospital can provide. But the magic of the Inn has a way of revealing what the heart has long buried. When a mysterious stranger with a kind smile keeps appearing just when Eve needs him most, she’s drawn into a past she never saw coming…”
