Tessa Blake likes things simple: clean layouts, crisp deadlines, and a boyfriend who's been her best friend since college. What she doesn't like? Camden Price-her boyfriend Noah's childhood best friend and living proof that loud, obnoxious energy drinks can take human form. So when Cam crashes their quiet weekend plans with a smug grin and a new girlfriend, Tessa prepares for another evening of pretending to tolerate him. She definitely doesn't expect Harper Rhodes. Harper is calm, self-assured, and infuriatingly observant. An independent photographer with a quiet voice and a sharper lens, she notices things most people miss-including the cracks in Tessa's carefully arranged life. What begins as forced double dates turns into long conversations, unexpected laughter, and a slow unraveling of everything Tessa thought she wanted. As her long-term relationship starts to feel less certain and Harper becomes harder to ignore, Tessa is forced to ask herself: What if the person she can't stand leads her to the person she can't live without? Sometimes your "plus one" is the one.

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.
