Beckett's Cinderella

Secret heiress Liza Chandler didn't want the money—or the rugged millionaire who'd suddenly come into her life.

After fleeing a humiliating investment scandal in Dallas, she had sought refuge in rural North Carolina, selling sweet onions at her great-uncle's roadside stand. Certainly not after she had traded high society for country calm was she willing to let another smooth-talking stranger disrupt her hard-won peace.

But Beckett had made a vow to get the job done…and he wasn't the type to take no for an answer. Especially not when he discovered that beneath Liza's plain-Jane exterior hid a passionate woman just waiting to be protected.

Armed with an old family debt, the maritime investigator refused to leave Currituck County empty-handed. Even less with a howling coastal storm trapping them together under a leaking roof could either of them ignore the heat sparking between them.

But would Liza trust Beckett enough to take his money…and let him into her heart?
