We rated this book:

$30.00


Alice Storm has spent the past five years estranged from her billionaire, tech-giant father, exiled from the family compound on Storm Island, and building an artistic life in New York City on her own terms, free from the baggage of the name “Storm.” After her father’s sudden death, however, she heads to the island for the funeral. En route, she meets a compelling stranger and has a one-night stand, not sharing names–only to discover the stranger is Jack Dean, her father’s longtime “fixer” and the executor of his final wishes for his children. Alice is furious that Jack lied; he knew she was a Storm all along.

When Alice arrives on the island, she and her siblings—Sam, Greta, and Emily—discover that their father has tied their inheritance to a game, overseen by Jack. Alice’s task: stay on the island for a full week with her siblings and mother. As Alice struggles to make it through a week of judgment, disapproval, drama, and explosive revelations with the rest of the Storms, she finds an unlikely ally in Jack—and a new window into her father’s plans for her life. This romance, steeped in the luxurious world of the ultra-wealthy, will appeal to romance fans who will recognize Jack as the usual brooding hero.
