He's a widower ready to find love again. She's a widow who's still grieving. But he wants her...Dante Champion is on a mission to make Emily Mitchell his wife by any means necessary - even if it means resorting to trickery to lure her to a grief retreat in Pleasure Island, North Carolina, hoping she'll get the help she needs and play wifey until she falls in love with him. Two years after her husband passed, Emily is still grieving his death. She's buried herself in her work, in making her high-end boutique a success. She has no interest in dating again and she's definitely not about to be swept off her feet by one of those womanizing Champion brothers. Will she find it difficult to resist a sexy, sophisticated Champion man who has his sights set on her, or will her lonely, calloused heart forever belong to her deceased husband?
