Frankie’s on the vacation of a lifetime—warm sandy beaches, beach house right off the ocean, and miles of deep blue ocean, a true tropical getaway. But a dark handsome stranger threatens to take it all away from her. When Ben arrives to find his beach house rented at the same time he’s there to work, tempers rise until Jaffy, the owner of the resort and Ben’s godfather, steps in and offers a solution: share the house. Protests ring out, but soon they find it’s the only solution. Pleased, Jaffy breathes a sigh of relief; he took a risk setting this up but is confident his plan will work. Soon the roommates find themselves attracted to one another and deeper feelings begin to grow. But when Dianne, Frankie’s controlling mother, finds out, she begins to fill Frankie’s head with lies about Ben. Frankie knows they’re just lies but struggles with a decision that may bring their love affair to an end. Will their love survive?
