Alexia Blunt comes from a family deeply embedded in the rich world of the socially elite.
A strained relationship with her parents and a bad break up with an ex who also comes from high social standards, has Alexia deciding not to mingle with anyone associated with money anymore. But her perspective changes when she meets Hunter, who seems to fit the 'elite' mold but also seems to break it at the same time. Despite the promise she made to herself, curiosity gets the best of her and before she knows it, she's throwing caution in the wind.
Hunter McLaren has spent the sum of his working life in the family business, striving to make a comfortable life for himself early on. Because of this, there hasn't been much time for romance. Which has never been a problem for him. Until he meets Alexia. Not at all what he's come to expect from a woman with her background, she draws him in, and pretty soon he's feeling things he never thought he would.
But when difficulties, old secrets, and hidden agendas surface, they both need to make a choice. Are they going to have faith in each other and what they have, or let it tear them apart?
In a world where they're not supposed to be together, are they willing to fight for what they want, or will love take a back seat to society as it has so many times before?

River remains in Miami with his little sister, while struggling to provide a living for them both. It is then that he gets the chance of a lifetime, but it means giving up everything he loves.

"From the summary I had a lot of expectation of a one night stand, one and done type of thing with drama to follow up in later chapters. What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced. I thought their meeting was innocent and sweet, not what I was expecting. It was really good." - CourtneyPeterman0
