      A passion for all seasons...

      Returning to the beloved Eleuthera Islands of her childhood is the best decision Jasmine Talbot ever made. She’s determined to succeed in transforming her family’s magnificent Caribbean property into a one-of-a-kind B and B. But she needs Jackson Conner’s help. A brilliant visionary, the hunky contractor is proud, egotistical...and impossible to resist.

      Starting his own business was a huge gamble. And so is Jackson’s powerful desire for his alluring new boss. But what kind of future can he offer Jasmine when he has just discovered his entire past is a lie? Will his quest to uncover the truth—and the secret he’s keeping—jeopardize Jackson’s budding romance with the dazzling Bahamian beauty? Or give him the love that could be his lasting legacy...

      “Let me hear it again,” he said.

      I went back to the track and played it again. I started moving my hips in a circular motion, my eyes closed, one hand in the air and an arm around my waist. I got lost in the music. When I opened my eyes, Jackson was watching, studying me. I grabbed his hand and encouraged him to dance with me. He moved a little.

      He grabbed my waist with both hands. Much like he had the night of our almost-kiss. His body pressed against mine and we danced to the Caribbean beat. With a quick twirl, my back relaxed against him. His arms wrapped tightly around me from behind and I rested my head against his chest. Still moving. Still swaying. My hormones began to rage, and I couldn’t think of one place I’d rather be than right there. He planted sweet kisses along the back of my neck, and when I turned to face him, he planted those same kisses on my forehead and nose. Soon, his lips found mine, and this time without interruption. His kiss was gentle, and his tongue found its way between my lips and danced with my tongue. I savored the taste of him.

      “You’re so damn beautiful,” he whispered.

      Dear Reader,

      It was midbook when I completely fell head over heels in love with Jackson. He’s sexy and a generous lover. He’s truly a man’s man and Jasmine’s hero in every sense of the word. She wants a man like her father, and he fits the bill. He needs a woman who can unleash his inhibitions. And Jasmine is exactly that woman.

      I hope you will enjoy Jackson and Jasmine’s story. Writing this book was effortless and such a joy. Because my family is from the Eleuthera Islands, it was like sitting with them and having a great Bahamian meal while researching the beautiful island they call home.

      I hope you absolutely fall in love with the Talbot family! I sure did.
