Avery Quinn is on her way to her best friend Sienna’s dream wedding when she catches her fiancé cheating with another woman. Furious and heartbroken, she ends the engagement—and hours later, during a violent ferry storm, falls into the arms of a dangerously attractive older stranger. He protects her, calms her panic, and before the night is over, Avery kisses him.
The next morning, she arrives at the wedding island and discovers the man she kissed is Dominic Vale—Sienna’s billionaire father.
Avery swears it was a mistake. Dominic clearly doesn’t agree.
Now trapped together for ten days of wedding celebrations, every dance, jealous stare, secret touch, and stolen kiss pushes them closer to a line they can’t uncross. But Avery’s cheating ex knows their secret and threatens to expose her. Dominic’s bitter ex-wife wants her gone. Soon the humiliation turns deadly: Avery is stalked, blackmailed, lured onto dangerous water, and nearly killed—all because loving Dominic makes her the easiest target.
Then, on Sienna’s wedding day, envelopes filled with photos of Avery kissing Dominic are handed to every guest in the chapel.
Sienna looks at the best friend she trusted like a sister, slaps her across the face, and turns to her father in front of the entire wedding.
“Choose. Her or me.”
If he chooses Avery, he may lose his daughter. If he chooses Sienna, he loses the woman he risked everything to protect.
Dominic steps in front of Avery.
And the whole room waits for his answer.
