Lena Carver has everything under control-except her dream. As the no-nonsense manager of Rosebay Resort, one of the crown jewels in the Sinclair Hotels empire, Lena has dedicated the past six years to keeping five-star chaos in check. Between demanding guests, last-minute weddings, and her spirited four-year-old niece she's helping raise, Lena's got zero time for distractions-especially not the high-heeled, high-maintenance kind. Enter Avery Sinclair. She's the hotel chain's heiress and a walking HR warning with a trust fund and something to prove. After being sent to "oversee" Rosebay-aka get exiled from corporate HQ-Avery is determined to turn the location into the most profitable in the company. Her plan is simple: maximize revenue, impress Daddy, and earn the CEO title. Her plan does not include clashing with the sarcastic, infuriatingly competent hotel manager who seems allergic to authority and perfectly capable of running the entire empire on her own. What starts as a battle of wills quickly spirals into something much messier: unexpected teamwork, flirty banter, steamy tension in the linen closet, and the kind of feelings that don't come with a corporate playbook. In a place where professionalism is key and romance is strictly off the clock, falling in love might just be the biggest disaster of all. Welcome to The Last Resort-where ambition checks in, sparks fly, and hearts are the messiest rooms to clean.

Riley King, 19, is the effortlessly popular golden girl-blonde, bold, and used to getting her way. With a sharp tongue and a perfect smile, she hides the pressure of a wealthy, demanding home life behind a bratty, flirtatious exterior. Maya Wells, 27, is a sharp-witted English professor known for her intellect, quiet intensity, and unapologetic queerness. Beneath her composed exterior is a woman shaped by a complicated past and the quiet strength it takes to raise a five-year-old on her own. She's fiercely protective of the life she's built and the heart she's kept guarded until one student begins to test the rules she's always lived by. In a world of strict rules and unspoken expectations, one unexpected connection begins to blur the lines between right and wrong. On a campus built on appearances and ambition, something quiet but undeniable begins to grow slowly, dangerously, and far beyond what either of them intended. It starts with a glance, a challenge, a moment that should've meant nothing. But some stories don't follow the rules and some feelings refuse to stay hidden. HIGHEST RANKS 1 #txs
