Heartbroken Hero

I need to get out of town ... fast.

Scandal, betrayal, and a tarnished name have me fleeing my Manhattan penthouse with a lone suitcase and a manila envelope holding the hardest decision I'll ever have to make.

With no destination in mind, I land in a quaint beach town in South Carolina. I'm about to get lunch when my Christian Louboutin heel gets stuck in the decking. I'm desperate to rescue it when my hero appears.

A very moody, very heartbroken hero named Grant Dawson.

He's sensitive, protective, and absolutely gorgeous. I have to shield myself from the sun but mostly to avoid his glare. Grant doesn't take well to women from the big city ... especially ones who wear expensive shoes.

Despite Grant's unwelcoming attitude, I decide to stay in town and rent a room from an elderly woman who sets me up with a job as a waitress. Imagine my surprise when I find Grant is my new boss, and he's annoyed to be working with me.

Not one to bow down from a challenge, I work alongside Grant even if it kills me to do so. As I get to know him, I start to like the single father with a painful past. The more I care, the easier I find I could fall in love with him.

Grant doesn't trust women in heels for a reason. When I get the courage to open the manila envelope, I might once again prove him right when I walk out the door for good.
