What do you do when everyone around you are hell bent on making sure your arranged marriage happen before your 25th birthday? You run away... Meet Riley Evans, the perfect All-American girl-next-door with a prominent family name that rivaled the Kennedys and the Rothschilds. Before her eighth birthday, Riley had been betrothed to Phillip Cartwright the third; the son of her grandmother's dearest friend - of the Cartwright International and many more subsidiary companies - the only family her darling-yet-uptight grandmother deemed worthy - and of course, wealthy enough - to marry her first granddaughter. The problem was, they never met. And Riley wasn't going to be shipped off to London to live in a country so far away from her friends, family and most importantly, her book club. Now meet Phillip Cartwright the third, firstborn of the ever-so recognizable Cartwright offspring with their trademark jet black hair and ice-blue eyes. Not only was Phillip both Harvard and Oxford-educated, he was also handsome, family-oriented, supremely generous and oh-so charming. But this loving grandson wouldn't let his scheming grandmother marry him off to some rich American heiress, no matter how prominent her family name was or how much her family connection could further his business. When they both embarked on a journey to escape from their own respective fate, a little island in the Pacific Ocean might bring them closer than ever...
