Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Mistaking my new boss for a pervert and flipping him over in public is definitely not how I pictured my first day. As an undercover FBI agent, my job is to protect Archer Stone, the grumpy, infuriating billionaire CEO caught in a deadly corruption case.

I’ve got a dirty little secret. Well, maybe two. First, I don’t like weddings or the thought of marriage – but I’m a wedding planner. Second, I do love men and sex. Not relationships, not marriages, nothing messy. Just the fun of men for a little while before I dump them. Ironic, right? The truth is, I’ve seen what love can do, and I’m not interested in the mess. So, I keep my life simple—three dates or max three months, and I’m out. No strings, no heartbreak. It’s been working just fine... until Sebastian. Bash, as he likes to be called, is the ridiculously good-looking ...

It’s been eight years since I disappeared from his life.

Just like before, we're being pulled back together—me like a moth to a flame. His ...

He was a cocky guy with a broken ankle, and I was just trying to help. Then things got complicated. I hadn’t signed up to play nurse to a smug, arrogant man like Liam. But when he broke his ankle on one of Cedar Cove’s trails, I couldn’t leave him there. Turns out, he needed a little more help than just a ride home—he had no one. And neither did I. So, I offered to help. Big mistake. I didn’t know he was a billionaire—Liam kept that little detail under wraps. To me, he was just an infuriating, hard-to-please guy who somehow managed to look even hotter while being a pain. Then ...
