After all, a property management company handles insurance and repairs.

Chris Maxwell, owner of Blue Isle Construction, is blown away by Whitney the moment she arrives on the island.

Working side by side and day and night by the sparkling blue water’s edge, Whitney and Chris fall hard for each other. Hurricane Destiny brought them together, but will secrets surrounding Chris’ construction company tear them apart?
