What's a girl to do when the very kissable newcomer turns out to be the biggest jerk in town?

Alexandra Gray has never played by the rules. Kissing a handsome stranger on the beach one starlit night? That's just another Saturday for her.

But Alex's carefree ways are tested when her new landlord threatens the future of her beloved bookstore.

Even worse? This new landlord is the same man she kissed that starlit night, the same man she's been dreaming about for months.

Real estate investor Aaron Morrison moved to Hazel Island with his niece and nephew for a fresh start after tragedy struck.

Dating? Aaron can't even think about dating. Besides, he has to figure out how to deal with a fiery, gorgeous brunette who seems to think he's the devil incarnate.

As Aaron tries to find a suitable mother for his niece and nephew, he can't seem to stop wanting—and kissing—Alexandra Gray. The one woman he can't have.

Now Aaron must decide: will he sacrifice his heart's desire for duty, or will he let love win?
