Abby Douglas grew up believing she was part of the Armington legacy, until a car accident revealed her true parentage and tore her family apart. She's tried to put the painful past behind her, becoming a respected literature professor in West Palm Beach. Then a lawyer arrives with the news that her half-sister Serena has been named in Victoria Armington's will and could be in line to inherit the family fortune. Abby isn't even named in the will, and she wouldn't set foot in Palm Cove again...except for one thing. A secret Armington sister battling a deadly disease. Abby will do anything to save the girl she's come to love as a sister...even help Serena win custody of a pampered pig. The last thing she expected was the temptation offered by an arrogant, mind-meltingly sexy ex-football player.
Killian Rafael de los Santos O'Connor has survived a lot. Abandoned by his mother, neglected by a deadbeat father, and ultimately winding up in the foster system, he learned to rely only on himself. Football and his foster brothers got him through it all. Then a catastrophic injury ended his career and marriage. Now, Killian's bitter teenage son is spiraling out of control, and he's desperate to repair the damage. Desperate enough to follow his friend to Palm Cove to be a ringleader as three women fight over the Armington fortune. The last thing he expected was to be tempted by a buttoned-up, college professor. Abby and Killian couldn't have less in common, but they just might discover that the biggest fortune they could find is love.
