I came to renovate the British billionaire’s paradise resort… now I’m leaving with an island bump.
Winning a design competition brought me to Damon King’s outdated island resort..
An encounter in a dodgy elevator, and I mistake the powerful owner for a hot-looking construction worker with salt and pepper stubble.
One heated glance and I’m undone.
But working for Damon? Pure hell.
He hates change—on his island, in his life, in his heart.
He guards his secrets well, but watching him with his little girl reveals the tender heart beneath that no-nonsense exterior.
When a tropical storm strands us together those walls he’s built crumble against my fingertips.
Calloused hands caress my flesh…his smooth tongue takes me to downtown ecstasy.
I see — beach walks, candlelit dinners, a future bright as the Caribbean sun with a man learning to love again.
Until his college-aged daughter arrives. One look at me—close in age—and her accusations of “gold-digger” hurt.
Now I’m back in Tennessee, hugging the toilet each morning, wondering why I told my baby daddy that I left with much more than a great resume.
Some renovations are messier than others.
