Category 4 — Robin Nadler

As a storm rages outside, things heat up in a beachfront inn. Vanessa escaped to the oceanfront B&B to clear her head after a stunning diagnosis. Yet as gale force winds kick up outside, she's forced to take shelter with a painfully attractive billionaire who makes her pulse race. When that chance encounter results in a night spent tangled in his sheets, the course of Vanessa's life is altered forever. Todd wasn't looking for a fling. He retreated to his family-owned inn hoping to hide from pain he wasn't ready to face. Then he saw Vanessa. Intoxicated by her beauty, he could think of no better way to ride out a storm then locked in her embrace. One night of passion, and he finds himself aching for more. Just when the pair begin to contemplate a future together, a misunderstanding forces them apart. Heartbroken and dejected, Vanessa leaves the inn vowing never to look back. Can Todd track her down and earn a second chance? Or will the seeds of doubt planted that weekend cause their blooming love to crash and burn?
