Dean Archer has meticulously curated his life to include his family's global art and antiquities empire and a fiancée who is his intellectual equal.
When he arrives at a luxury resort in Kauai for a vacation with his new fiancée’s family, the last person he expects to find cleaning his room is Elika Hamlet—the woman who once set his world, and his bed, ablaze. And since the universe has a wicked sense of humor, she's also his fiancée’s cousin.
Their affair ended badly when Elika overheard Dean telling his friend she was fun for a fling, but as a hotel maid with no education, she wasn't an intellectual equal. Dean's fiancée, on the other hand, is everything he thought he wanted—smart, beautiful, perfectly connected, and flawless on paper.
But, as Dean spends more time with the fierce and captivating Elika, he realizes he’s been chasing after the wrong cousin.
Can Dean undo the damage he caused and prove he’s changed? Or will Elika walk away, leaving him to face the consequences of choosing the wrong fiancée?
