Interior designer, Nikki Dupree, can't believe her luck when she gets a commission to redesign the island mansion of the wealthy recluse, Lucian Kontos. She loves the gorgeous Mediterranean island and shimmering blue waters that wash along the sandy beaches. But her new employer turns her job into anything but paradise.
Arrogant and short-tempered, Lucian makes no excuses for his rude behavior. Scarred by a fire that nearly destroyed all he held dear, he trusts no one and rejects all pity and kindness.
However, Nikki's beauty and passion for life slowly tears down his defenses.
But can a wounded man risk his heart on a woman who plans to leave?
