Ditched at the altar, hotshot lawyer Evander Westin flips tradition the middle finger and takes his honeymoon alone. The vendetta against his father can wait until after he spends two weeks relaxing in private island luxury. Invited to an exclusive resort by the man of his dreams, ever-sensible bookworm Heath Lennox had plans of his own. Getting stood up and then having his entourage bully him into taking the trip anyway wasn't among them. He caves to the pressure while refusing to enjoy a second of it. It's bristle-at-first sight when they meet in the not-so-friendly skies. Heath is a judgmental stick-in-the-mud, and Evan is everything he's vowed to avoid-wealthy, brash, and most importantly, straight. However, arrival at the resort reveals they have bigger problems than each other: Solo is a no-go at this couples-only retreat. Agreeing to pose as newlyweds, they're shocked when an actual friendship develops, especially when a late-night baring of souls leads to a baring of... other things. Evan and his daddy issues are the definition of red flag, and guys aren't even his thing! Heath is not falling for another undependable man. No matter how gorgeous, sweet, or romantic... because everyone knows the vacation fantasy crumbles in post-paradise reality. No matter how perfect.
