Love was never part of the plan... Then There Was You...


After struggling as a teen to support his ill mother, Sterling Knight understands the value of hard work and financial stability. It's made him a workaholic, and he's determined to prove himself by ensuring his company's next project-a resort in the small seaside town of Haven Bay-is a huge success. He's found the perfect piece of land. Now all he has to do is convince the stubborn (and distractingly beautiful) owner to sell.


Katarina Hopa has no intention of ever selling her property to some corporate suit. That land and the house on it are her sanctuary and all she has left. But Sterling stirs feelings and desires she thought she'd buried with her husband long ago. Ignoring their intense attraction is impossible. All she can do now is guard her heart against the devastation that will happen when everything falls apart. And it will fall apart. Because surely, no one gets a second chance at true love...right?


Can Katarina and Sterling overcome the pain of their tragic pasts and clear a path to happily ever after? Or will fear keep them apart forever?
