When her childhood sweetheart chose his music career over marriage, Elle Lauren fled to Paris to study fashion design, and her stunning wedding gowns now give other brides the happily-ever-after she didn’t have. Ignoring Braxton Chase’s long-distance apologies has been easy, but seeing him once more stirs deep longings and desires. Braxton regrets breaking Elle’s heart.

From the moment she roars into Paradise Cove they’re like oil and water, and when a judge rules that Quinn must work in Ike’s office to repay the damages after she broadsides his car, the tension between them escalates…before exploding into raw desire. Simple chemistry won’t be enough to bridge the gap between them. It’ll take the kind of trust that requires putting your heart on the line to secure a glittering, priceless future…
