Can widow Katarina protect both her battered heart and her beloved B&B from the property developer passing through her small town?

Katarina blames herself for her husband's death. Her only solace is running the beachfront bed and breakfast they always dreamed of, but now a big city developer plans to buy the property and bulldoze her B&B.

Sterling Knightley has made Katarina's landlord an offer she can't refuse. The only way Katarina can keep her promise to her late husband is to persuade the aloof businessman to partner with her, but Sterling holds all the cards.

Katarina doesn't expect to be charmed by the man beneath Sterling's prickly exterior, or for him to reignite a spark she thought was dead. But no matter how tempting she finds him, she can't risk losing her B&B... or her heart.
