When a contract mix-up lands Jack Deacon—a notoriously cocky, seriously talented sports photographer—in the pool house of Riggs royalty, the princess running the show finds herself completely undone by his blue eyes and irresistible dimples. As this confident bachelor invades her workplace and personal space while calling her beautiful instead of boss, she realizes she's falling hard for the one man she absolutely shouldn't want. But when family secrets surface and careers shift unexpectedly, their sizzling connection faces the ultimate question: how do you move on from someone you were never supposed to have in the first place? This deliciously spicy standalone will have you swooning over the tension, cheering for the chemistry, and gasping at the complications that threaten to derail their mountain-town romance.
