A career-defining decision. An irresistible island romance. Can love and ambition find common ground on Last Chance Beach?

Zara Webb has worked tirelessly to climb the ranks at Thoon Technology. Now, she faces a life-changing choice during a two-week getaway at Last Chance Beach: accept a major promotion—guaranteeing prestige and a sky-high salary, but little time for a personal life—or stay in her current role and keep her options open for love and family. As she weighs her future, she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic man next door, a supposed beach bum with a mysterious charm.

Carter Harte, bestselling suspense author writing as C. H. Logan, treasures his anonymity on the island. He’s instantly captivated by the beautiful, driven woman renting the cottage next to his. Determined to show Zara that she has more than one path to happiness, Carter proposes an alternative: marry him and launch her own consulting business. But when Zara uncovers Carter’s secret identity, will it bring them closer together—or drive them apart?

Perfect for readers who love contemporary beach romance, career versus love stories, secret identity romance, small-town island settings, strong independent heroines, uplifting second chance love, and heartwarming happily ever afters.
