He's a wealthy bachelor tired of hollow relationships. She's a small-town woman who's only ever dreamed of a love like his. When their worlds collide, sparks fly-but so do the rumors. Colt Walker has everything-money, power, and the kind of charm that makes women swoon. But after years of being chased for his bank account instead of his heart, all he wants is something real. A business trip to Angel Cove was supposed to be just another weekend of networking-until he meets her . Bree Harris, the one woman who sees him , not his fortune. And for the first time in years, Colt feels truly alive. Bree knows all about life's hardships. A battle with illness stole her teenage years, forcing her to grow up faster than most. She doesn't have time for shallow romance-until Colt, the sinfully handsome older man, turns his attention her way. What starts as a heated attraction quickly becomes something deeper, something neither of them expected. In a town where opinions run wild and passion burns hot, Colt and Bree must fight for the one thing that truly matters-the love neither of them saw coming.
