When a hurricane roars through Lacey Armstrong's home on the coast of Barefoot Bay, she decides all that remains in the rubble is opportunity. A new hotel is just what Mimosa Key needs, and Lacey and her teenage daughter are due for a fresh start. And nothing, especially not a hot, younger architect, is going to distract Lacey from finally making her dreams a reality.
Love has already cost Clay Walker everything. And if he's going to have any chance of picking up the pieces of his life, he needs the job as Lacey Armstrong's architect. What's not in the plans is falling for the headstrong beauty. Her vision of the future is more appealing than anything he could have ever drafted for himself. Will Clay's designs on Lacey's heart be more than she can handle, or will she trust him to build something that will last forever?

"First let me say that I am a HUGE Roxanne St. Claire fan. The woman is phenomenal and this book did NOT disappoint. It was refreshing to read a story with characters so real, you would honestly believe you knew them. Lacey was honest and true to herself and that's what I liked the most (oh, and not to mention Clay was HOTTT!)"
