Meg Rosenthal: Matchmaker by day, realist by night, Meg is not about
to get swept away by a charming, darkly handsome businessman in a designer
suit.
She’s come to a beautiful secluded resort to evaluate the private
island’s potential for her agency, not to ogle its owner. But there’s something
about the magnetic man that’s hard to resist, even for a woman who refuses to
fall in love.
Valentino Masini: A successful and drop-dead sexy businessman,
Valentino is used to having the finer things in life. Yet he’s never wanted
someone the way he wants Meg, who’s stirring up a hurricane of trouble in his
heart. But just as he decides to convince her to stay, someone else decides it
might be time to get Meg off the island...permanently.

Enjoy an Excerpt
A shadow fell over her, drawing Meg's attention from the nap she was
trying to take. It might have been unfortunate that she opened her eyes to find
a pair of dress pants, with a rather impressive bulge hiding the sun...but Meg
found herself tearing her gaze away to follow the overdressed path to broad shoulders,
partially shaven face...dark eyes.
"Mr. Masini."
"Miss Rosenthal."
"You're a little
overdressed for the pool, don't you think?"
The weight of his eyes
traveled over her exposed skin. The bikini hid the important parts, but didn't
leave a ton to the imagination. She couldn't tell if Val's lips twitched with
admiration for what he saw, or disapproval. Either way, she felt a little like
a Catholic school girl who'd shown up for the first day of school with the
wrong uniform... which had actually happened to her before her parents decided
to ignore her grandparents' suggestion that public school might prove best.
His gaze lingered on her
thighs and Meg felt the need to squirm. Instead, she simply called the man out.
"You're staring, Mr. Masini."
He jolted as if his own personal earthquake woke him. "Please,
call me Val."
"We're on a first name
basis now?"
Val rocked back, placed his
hands into his pockets as if he didn't know what to do with them.
He'd been nothing short of
cocky since before she'd arrived...this new look suited her just fine.
"I welcome all my guests
to use my name."
"Yet you don't go by
Valentino. I'd think you'd prefer only friends call you Val."
"Are we not
friends?"
Meg couldn't help it, she
laughed. "Sure, Val, let's be friends...you can call me Margaret. Miss
Rosenthal reminds me of my great aunt who never married.
His eyes laughed even though
his lips didn't. "Don't you use Meg?"
"Let's not push it, Val."
