A fired CEO. A hotel owner who won't leave. One crumbling Caribbean resort and a ninety-day clause that forces them to run it together.
Nora Whitfield is fifty-seven, divorced, and freshly fired. The board she built from nothing handed her a severance package and a cardboard box. So she buys a beachfront hotel on the Caribbean island of Santa Aurelia, determined to prove she's not finished yet.
Julian Ashford is the former owner who lost the hotel to the bank. Thanks to an obscure Colonial Caretaker Clause, he has ninety days of legal residency and no intention of leaving.
Nora believes in systems, schedules, and digital upgrades. Julian believes in trade winds, island vibes, and knowing the plumber's nephew by name.
But the plumbing bursts. The WiFi crashes. The staff sides with Julian. And every renovation exposes something Nora can't control. Especially the man she's supposed to be getting rid of.
If she can't modernize the Aurelia Palms, she loses her last shot at reinvention. If he refuses to let go, he risks losing the only home he has left. And neither of them expected to fall for each other during a hostile takeover.
