Thirty days in the Caribbean. One shared suite. Five rules. Number five: no falling in love.
Architect Maya Bennett arrives in Bayahibe with a project to finish and a flight back to Chicago. After her divorce, a month redesigning the suites at Aqua Esmeralda seems manageable. She knows how to work. Starting over is another matter.
Then a water leak leaves her sharing Suite 305 with Luca Moretti, the photographer working on the same project. Separate bedrooms. Shared living space. A few sensible rules to keep things uncomplicated.
Luca makes that last part difficult.
He has a dry sense of humor, an eye for details, and a habit of noticing things Maya would rather keep to herself. Over morning coffee and late-night conversations, she begins to look forward to his company. Soon, closing her bedroom door takes more willpower than she expected.
As attraction deepens into intimacy, Maya finds herself wanting a life she never planned. Working alongside the resort's staff reminds her why she became an architect. Being with Luca makes her wonder whether she could trust someone with more than a few stolen weeks.
But her return date is approaching. A promotion awaits in Chicago, and Luca is beginning to make plans for a future they haven't agreed on.
Maya is ready to want someone again. She isn't ready to let him decide her future.
For this to last beyond Bayahibe, they'll both have to learn what it means to choose a life together.
One Night in Bayahibe is a steamy, slow-burn contemporary romance featuring forced proximity, adult protagonists, dual points of view, and explicit intimate scenes. The first book in the Aqua Esmeralda series, it tells a complete, standalone love story with a happily ever after.
