Waking up in parallel "what if" world where she's with her high school sweetheart and her daughter Libby is still alive, Celine is forced to face the problems in her real life and the hard truth that not everything can be fixed by a mother's love.

"I never thought I'd see her again. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? But five years later, my casino fling is my new next-door neighbor. A lot's happened since we got acquainted in that hotel room. I finished out my military career, took a job with my estranged father, moved to the beach...the only thing that hasn't changed is that Beatrice has always been on my mind. I can't let her get away again. Lucky for me, she feels the same way. Not so lucky, though, is our families' business rivalry--and our resorts' competition for the same property. As much as I want to ride off into the sunset with Beatrice on the back of my bike, we want to make this work. And that means smoothing things out between our families. If we thought finding each other after our night in Vegas was a long shot, this feud is about to give impossible a whole new meaning."--

"As the oldest child in his family, Chris Puso has always taken his responsibilities seriously. He'll do whatever it takes to ensure Heart Resort's success. Four and a half years ago, that meant marrying Eden, a woman he admired but didn't love, to access a family trust that benefited them both. Eden Puso, a.k.a. romance author Everly Heart, believes in true love--in her novels, at least. But her marriage to Chris was more about funding her writing career and supporting her family than finding her happily ever after. And despite their mutual attraction toward one another, they stayed loyal to the contract ... for the most part. With six months until the end of their contract and with their careers taking off, their marriage of convenience has become, well, a little inconvenient. A competing resort threatens to usurp Heart Resort, and Chris and Eden band together to preserve its reputation, including doing a retreat themselves. But as the retreat uncovers their history and their hidden love for one another, can their relationship survive so their partnership reaches its natural conclusion?"--

"Heart Resort, a private resort in the Outer Banks, is a romantic getaway for couples but a hotbed of family drama for its proprietors, the Puso family. Brandon Puso, the youngest of the four siblings, prefers life on his own as a licensed contractor in DC after a falling-out with his eldest brother. After a hurricane plows through the Outer Banks, Brandon has a change of heart. He returns to the resort to help with the grand reopening but encounters his big sister's best friend, designer Geneva Harris, who's there to do the same thing. But Geneva and Brandon have a secret. Years ago, they had a secret romance that ended in heartbreak. With the resort's future at stake, Brandon and Geneva decide to put the past aside and to keep peace with the family. But as their mutual attraction heats up, they have to decide if history will repeat itself--or if this time, love gets a second chance."--Publisher's description.
