Secret Paradise

One night could change everything…

Interior designer Nikki Dupree thought landing a commission on a gorgeous Mediterranean island would be a dream job. She was wrong.

Her new employer, the reclusive Lucian Kontos, is arrogant, hostile, and determined to make her regret accepting the project. Scarred by a devastating fire that destroyed everything he loved, Lucian has built walls no one can breach—walls designed to keep out pity, kindness, and hope.

But Nikki isn't easily intimidated. Her warmth and fierce spirit begin to crack his defenses, igniting a desire neither of them expected.

As passion flares between them, so does danger. Someone wants Nikki gone—and they'll stop at nothing to drive her away.

Now Lucian faces an impossible choice: protect his wounded heart, or risk everything for the one woman who could heal him… or destroy him completely.
