What to expect
A party girl, a serious businessman, only one bed in paradise... 🏝️🌞💖
For fans of Tessa Bailey, Christina Lauren and Ali Hazelwood!
🏝️ Greek setting
🏝️ Only one bed
🏝️ Funny and spicy
🏝️ Fake business partners
🏝️ Forced proximity
🏝️ Teacher becomes the student
Dee Donovan is used to living up to her reputation as the ‘wild’ twin. She finally has an opportunity to prove everyone, especially her father wrong. She just needs her sister's business partner Jem to play along with her outrageous plan. Secure a business deal by faking it as her boyfriend in Greece. The catch? Jem and Dee are not that close. In fact, Dee can’t put her finger on it, but Jem seems to really dislike her!
However, it’s just for 24 hours. Until a storm blows in trapping them, alone in Paradise! With no way of getting home, they need something to do… why not confront their tensions head on? After all, they’ve been dancing around their chemistry for years now. But Jem has a secret – he’s not quite as experienced as Dee in this particular area!
So Dee promises to teach Jem everything she knows before they return. And it’s clear that her student is a very fast learner! And all too quickly, they start wishing the storm would hang around. Because neither want to think about what will happen when they have to return to reality…
