house turned hotel. The problem is, she keeps getting sidetracked by the
handsome and charming grandson of the owner.
Renowned hotel magnate and business consultant, Evan Townsend is retained

into bankruptcy. His first chore is to terminate the work Mallory is doing.

planned will benefit his grandmother’s financial bottom line.
Evan’s mounting attraction to the beautiful and clever Mallory has him
reconsidering his stance on her present work, yet he remains resistant to
her requests not to sell the hotel so her work can continue. If only he
could be as unaffected by her kisses.
Both fear the other is using the sexual magnetism between them to get what
they want. Can Mallory and Evan design a way to break through the walls of
half-truths and what-ifs to build a lifetime of love?
