I am stuck at a Hawaiian resort with my rival coworker…He’s terrible to work with but way too good at playing fake-boyfriend.
When I won a week-long trip to Hawaii for being a star employee, I did one of those happy dances at my desk. I immediately ordered a cute bikini, a floppy beach hat, and new sandals. Then I arrived and discovered my good luck wasn’t all good.
Yes, I won the trip… but so did my nemesis.
Jack Morgan is impossible to work with: Stubborn, cocky, and too charming for his own good. We have a long history of contentious emails behind us, and the fact that we’re up for the same promotion doesn’t help matters.
I blame the fruity cocktail from the poolside bar for that scheming session we had in the hot tub.
Our plan to take happy-couple photos to cheer up my mom and earn him some respect points with his ex seemed like a great idea…
Then again, that could have been the rum talking.
Because, really, posing cheek-to-cheek with Jack is more trouble than I’m prepared to deal with.
His perfectly crooked smile, sea-tossed hair, and deliciously manly smell make me swoon. Worse? He’s a lot sweeter in person than over email. He’s outgoing and can draw me out of my shell. We’re different, but we get each other in a way I never expected. Now, we’re bonding over stolen kisses, surf sessions, and our love of sea turtles.
This vacation is starting to feel romantic, like one of those fairytales where the princess meets her prince. Or, I could be building castles in the sand…
Hazel and Jack, rivals vying for the same promotion, both win a week-long trip to Hawaii from their workplace. Hazel is an introvert who values efficiency and perfection, while Jack is outgoing and focuses on relationship-building and creative solutions. Despite never meeting in person and detesting each other through their email exchanges, they find themselves in an unexpected situation when Hazel’s ad for a fake boyfriend to ease pressure from her mother is answered by Jack. Their initial chemistry leads to a complicated but sweet romance set against the beautiful backdrop of Hawaii. Their connection over animals and mutual growth, along with numerous swoony moments, makes for a compelling summer read. The story is filled with holiday vibes, humor, and a heartwarming happily ever after, featuring the delightful inclusion of Chester the sea turtle.
