Playboy James Ellison wouldn’t usually agree to a blind date at a wedding, but this date could help his career. Mixing business and pleasure has never felt better!

Real estate developer and lifelong bachelor James Ellison is at his cousin Kiki’s wedding on the tropical island of Moretta. Which is also the site where the biggest project of his career has run into trouble. He’s agreed to be bridesmaid Laina’s blind date, but James has a hidden agenda in mind. Architect Laina Rose doesn’t know it, but she’s going to help him get his project over the last hurdle…

Laina is recovering from a nasty breakup that has left her wary of intimacy with any man, let alone a womanizer like James. But the wild chemistry between them proves irresistible, and James is soon showing Laina what she’s been missing in the bedroom—and she’s ecstatic to learn.

After a string of red-hot encounters all over the island, James is falling hard for Laina and wants more than a fling. But when she finds out about his ulterior motives, she is furious! Has he been using her all along? It’s up to James to show her he’s a changed man—for now and forever.
