Margaritas and Mischief

Callie Forde came to Mimosa Cay for sunshine, margaritas, and exactly zero life-changing decisions. 

Instead, she’s trying to save the island’s biggest fundraiser with Elias Vega—a devastatingly competent security strategist who treats emotions like system vulnerabilities and somehow still kisses like he’s solving a very important problem.

Eli  likes plans, logistics, and predictable outcomes. 

Callie arrives in tropical prints, reorganizes his operation in under an hour, and immediately becomes the most statistically disruptive variable in his life.

When sabotaged clues, disappearing data, and mounting chaos threaten the charity scavenger hunt, Callie and Eli work side by side to keep the event from imploding.

The mission? Save the hunt.

The complication? Every minute together makes it harder to remember this was supposed to be temporary.

Somewhere between the margaritas, mischief, and emotionally charged clue trails, Callie starts wanting something she never planned for: a future that finally feels like hers.



Margaritas & Mischief is a lighter, more comedic romantic suspense holiday novella set after Book 3 in the Storm Series world. While the main Storm trilogy features high-stakes suspense and a more dramatic tone, this novella focuses on humor, chemistry, and island chaos. It can be enjoyed as a complete standalone.
