Small town hero - olivia hayle

My new boss is my best friends older brother and the golden boy of Paradise Shores.

Me? Im the misfit single mom who never wanted to fit in.

Being forced to move back to my hometown after a decade away is embarrassing, but Ill do anything to protect my little girl.

Ill even wait tables at the elite Yacht Club.

now owned by the boy I once had a huge crush on.

Hes grown up and claimed his rightful place as King of Paradise Shores.

Parker Marchand was a star athlete and professional sailor who never looked at me twice.

Hes strong and steady, everything my abusive ex wasnt, but Im a struggling single mom and professional screw-up.

What could we possibly have in common? But Parker doesnt believe in no win situations.

He wants to be my knight in shining armor.

His plan: Charm my daughter.

Take me sailing.

Out to dinner.

and into his bed.

Make me forget everyone but him.

The man Ive always wanted is within reach, but Ive been burned too many times to trust again.

Parker has a brilliant future and Im running from my past.

Everyone knows knights in shining armor arent real, and Im too old to believe in fairy tales.

Even if Parker is making it hard not to.
