Seven Year Itch

He’s a grumpy, tattooed mountain man. She’s the fiery woman who can’t stand him. Paradise has other plans.

All I wanted was a no-strings weekend fling, a plus-one for my brother’s destination wedding. But thanks to my meddling family and their “helpful” edits to my dating profile, I’m stuck on a tropical island with no date, no plan, and way too much time to think about my bad luck.

Then fate throws me the ultimate curveball: I have to share a room with Dakota, my sister-in-law’s best friend, my sworn nemesis, and the woman who’s been yelling at me for seven years straight.

She’s recently divorced. I’m allegedly “emotionally unavailable.” And yet, one heated night in paradise turns our legendary arguments into something a lot steamier.

We agree to leave it there—what happens in paradise stays in paradise. Until Dakota shows up on my mountain months later with an offer I can’t refuse: she wants me to be her wingman while she gets her confidence back.

But the more time we spend together, the more I realize I don’t want to help her find someone else. I want her. For good.
