Pride and Pina Coladas — Melanie Summers

He's a billionaire rum magnate. He's as hot as he is rude. And we're stranded on a private island alone.

As event planner at the Paradise Bay Resort, my shot at ‘the big time' has finally arrived. I'm heading up the hospitality team for the World Bartender Championships.

There's only one big problem.

And his name is Theo Rojas.

As the major sponsor of the event, Theo has decided to be onsite, micromanaging every second of the competition. 

Apparently, he's added ‘make Nora's life absolute hell' to the top of his to-do list. 

Too bad for Mr. Grumpy Chinos because he doesn't know who he's dealing with -- I've taken on far worse foes than him. And if he thinks he's going to get the best of me, he's in for an early wake-up call.

So when we find ourselves stranded on a luxury private island overnight, I'm determined to put him in his place once and for all. 

Only somehow, instead of continuing our constant sparring, I find myself staring into his gorgeous eyes.

And now I have totally forgotten the nasty things I was planning to say. Something about him being arrogant, right?

Pride and Piña Coladas is a Jane Austen retelling that'll have you laughing, swooning, and sipping fruity blender drinks. It's got it all -- enemies-to-lovers, plenty of witty banter, a charming bad guy (who gets his comeuppance), forced proximity in the world's most romantic location, and heartwarming, tender moments galore.
