She's never moving again, no matter what, so when handsome entrepreneur Samuel Cross arrives to stay at her beach house for two weeks, Ava knows the last thing she should do is act on her attraction to him.When Sam forgave his business partner and fiancée for falling in love with each other, he didn't expect them to invite him on their pre-wedding vacation jaunt to Seahaven, or that he'd actually agree to come. But Sam knows his ex. She's planning to use the trip to make a bid for control of his start-up. He's prepared for two weeks of unmitigated misery with the happy couple and their other guests, but things look up when their pretty host, Ava, quickly takes stock of the situation and maneuvers Sam into the best room of the house. Now if only he can convince Ava she needs to spend more time with him, he might salvage this vacation, after all.Ava isn't sure why she keeps coming to Sam's rescue, but she's having more fun than she's had in years as they explore all the area has to offer-with and without his friends.
