All they wanted was a happily-never-after.
When Richard Danforth inherits the family estate on Merriweather Island, he doesnât have time to deal with itâespecially not from halfway across the globe. Heâs too busy working to become the worldâs newest billionaire and avoiding the women who would detract him from his goals.
Enter Lyla Santana. Fresh out of Oxford University with a degree in antiques and a relationship that nearly killed her to leave, sheâs eager for the isolation and treasure trove that is Danforth Hall. Lyla also is determined to avoid men at all costs. Forever.
It was supposed to be a match made on paper. With him halfway across the globe, theyâd never have to see each other again.
So, whatâs Richard doing on Merriweather just weeks after the wedding? And how will his arrival test Lylaâs faith, not to mention stretch their so-called relationship?
In a twist on billionaire romance and marriage of convenience, this âMerriweather bookâ kicks off a new series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.
