Rosaline Everett has never been good at making friends. She's shy, and clumsy, and unsure of herself. So moving to sunny Long Beach, California had her struggling to stay afloat. She just never expected to feel welcome and safe and secure. She never expected to meet him... Gorgeous and rich, Xavier Hart has never cared about anyone outside of his small group of loved ones. He doesn't have the time, never mind the energy to care about anything more than protecting his family. Maintaining his cold, bad boy demeanor kept other people out. He just never expected that he'd be the one to let someone in. He never expected his cold, impenetrable heart would be touched in such a delicate, perfect way. He never expected to meet her... Can they shelter each other from the storm?
