I hated him the second he walked in. Too bad he now owns the place I’ve dedicated my entire life to.
Reid Castellano inherited the Beach Club…
And walked straight back into my world without remembering he once shattered it.
He’s grumpy, gorgeous, and absolutely infuriating.
And every time he leans over my desk, my body betrays me like we never lost a summer.
One argument turns into a kiss, I feel in my toes.
A forbidden, furious, breath-stealing kiss that tastes like the boy he used to be,
And the man I should never want now.
Then it keeps happening.
His hand brushes mine when we reach for the same plans.
His voice drops when he says my name like it matters.
A night where he finally lets his guard down — and I stop pretending I’m immune.
I fall for him again, even knowing the Beach Club will be bankrupt in three months without drastic changes.
Changes that could rip us apart before we ever get a beginning.
His life is in New York.
Mine is in Salt Bay.
Worst part?
If he leaves again… he won’t just take the job I love.
He’ll take my heart with him.
