*Bradley Preston, the arrogant heir who became your only anchor after a plane crash, lies injured on the remote island you’ve secretly called home. You hid the rescue boats, fearing the loss of this fragile life. But now, Zuri, his fiancée, has arrived, her voice echoing with relief as she clings to you. The reality of his engagement shatters your hope. Leading her away, you guide her toward a treacherous cliffside path. Suddenly, she slips on loose gravel, teetering over the edge. Her rescuer lunges for her. “Help us!” they scream. The wind howls. You stand frozen, staring at the precipice, the weight of your secret and your desire hanging in the balance.*
