She makes a pact to seduce one man. She never plans to fall for another. When Laken Viera comes to Breakers Island—a place known for cliffside mansions and old-money families—she’s looking for a fresh start after the worst year of her life. Her friend Portia scores her a summer job at her family’s lobster business. What Laken doesn’t expect is Rhett Jordan—a cocky, infuriating deckhand who seems to take pleasure in getting under her skin. Their constant arguments on the dock turn into late nights, dangerous chemistry, and hot rides on the back of his motorcycle. The more time she spends with Rhett, the more Breaker’s Island starts to feel like where she belongs. There’s just one problem: the job wasn’t the only reason she came to the island. Laken made a promise to her friend Portia—to get close to Rhett’s wealthy boss, the man Portia believes was responsible for her brother’s boating accident, and find out what really happened that night. It was supposed to be simple. Temporary. Just a favor for someone who’d once come to her rescue. Rhett was never part of the plan. Keeping her word could mean losing Rhett. Breaking it could cost her both the man she’s falling for and the friend who brought her to the island in the first place. But on Breakers Island, secrets don’t stay buried—and sometimes love changes even the best-laid plans.
