She dodges emotions and can scare away most people with a single glare. Too bad he showed up with a sledgehammer – and snacks.
Everyone on Smuggler’s Hideaway knows Kai Raider is the island’s resident goofball – sunshine in human form with a killer smile and an annoying habit of showing up when I least want him to. Which is always.
Because I don’t have time for flirty men with muscular chests, ocean-blue eyes I want to drown in, and unshakeable optimism. I’m too busy running a bar, caring for my grumpy father, and trying not to unravel.
I do not have time to fall into bed with a cheeky, younger man who makes me laugh when I’d rather growl. And yet… somehow, I do. And now I can’t stop thinking about the way he touches me like I’m his, kisses me like I’m a promise, and makes me want more than just a no-strings fling.
Kai says age doesn’t matter. He says I’m his dream girl, grumpy mood swings and all. That I deserve to be taken care of. That laughter isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity.
He says he’s loved me From the Start. But can I trust him?
