She booked a cottage to recover from a broken engagement. He was already living in it. Now they have two weeks, one bedroom, and no way to avoid what happens next.
Maya Chen has one goal: survive her first vacation alone after a cruel engagement breakup without falling apart. No chaos, no distractions, and definitely no men. Just a secluded Maine cottage, a strict itinerary, and ocean air to stitch herself back together before returning to Chicago.
Jake Mercer never planned on sharing Bluff Cottage with a furious and uptight lawyer carrying lots of emotional baggage. He's an architect on sabbatical, supposed to be renovating his aunt’s place in peace, not giving up his bed, and learning just how Maya’s likes her coffee.
She’s sharp, stubborn, and determined to keep her walls up. He’s broad-shouldered, infuriatingly competent, and far too good at reading her.
Between a double-booking disaster, one very small cottage, shared meals, bathroom schedules, and the kind of tension that turns every argument into a dare, their forced proximity becomes something neither of them planned for.
LAST RESORT is a 43-thousand-words spicy forced-proximity romance novella about control, healing, found peace, and the terrifying relief of being wanted exactly as you are.
Genre: Romance
