Goodreads: From the USA Today bestselling author of Know You by Heart comes a spirited romance set in the Heart Resort universe—a love story about fate, family, and second chances.

I never thought I’d see her again. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? But five years later, my casino fling is my new next-door neighbor.

A lot’s happened since we got acquainted in that hotel room. I finished out my military career, took a job with my estranged father, moved to the beach…the only thing that hasn’t changed is that Beatrice has always been on my mind. I can’t let her get away again. Lucky for me, she feels the same way.

Not so lucky, though, is our families’ business rivalry—and our resorts’ competition for the same property.

As much as I want to ride off into the sunset with Beatrice on the back of my bike, we want to make this work. And that means smoothing things out between our families.

If we thought finding each other after our night in Vegas was a long shot, this feud is about to give impossible a whole new meaning.

Ope’s Opinion: I have read several of Tif Marcelo books. I do enjoy her writing and I do enjoy that she writes about her culture.

The beginning of the story almost made me stop reading it. It started out with too much drama for me. The story did improve and I did like the main characters. The pace was a little on the slow side. I did like that Beatrice and Jackson had a bit of a history before their love story began. Second meetings are one of my favorite genres.
