Caliendo Resort

"Anya Caliendo left her family and their resort two years ago. She was ashamed and afraid that her family would blame her for some of their father's ruthless dealings. Now she returns to the resort in secret to find files to clear her name, but she doesn't plan on running into her one-time lover, Quinn. Quinn used to work for Anya's father too and he's out to do the same as Anya — clear his name. When he runs into Anya, they strike a deal to help one another. Quinn wonders how he can trust a Caliendo to keep her word. Will she turn out to be just like her father? Amid the secret meetings and late-night file searches, Anya and Quinn also fight a connection that seems to draw them closer and closer. Will they be able to clear their names and rekindle a romance or will their past destroy the future they so desperately seek? This book can be read as a STAND ALONE, but for more enjoyment read them in the order of the series, as all the characters appear in future books."

The Cohen Cruise Line and Caliendo resort are merging. Emma Caliendo and her sister, Izzy, set sail on the maiden voyage to be two of the faces of this new resort venture. Izzy is up for fun in the sun, but Emma wants to steer clear of the Cohen men, who are nothing but a bunch of womanizers. She's especially keen on avoiding Grayson Cohen. Grayson, a childhood acquaintance, is now an arrogant, self-centered ladies' man whose face is plastered all over the cruise's advertising campaign. Emma can't seem to turn a corner without seeing his stupid, conceited face. Nevertheless, when Grayson starts seeking her out, platonic badgering becomes sexual teasing and Emma discovers she's not as repelled by Grayson as she thought. In fact, she can't help but notice the real man beneath the haughty exterior. Suddenly, a three-week cruise fling with a Cohen man is exactly what she desires, but will walking away from him when it's all over be as easy as she's convinced herself? This book can be read as a standalone, but for more enjoyment read them in the order of the series, as all the characters appear in future books.

"Izzy Caliendo is a wild child. Born into a rich family, she uses her status as a pampered princess to avoid work, play the field and live her life the way she wants. Until Gunner Mann comes along, anyway. Gunner, hired by Izzy's brother, Marc, to decode their grandfather's secret files, is mysterious, dangerous and doesn't bow down to Izzy's wild ways. When Marc traps these two in the basement together to finish the files, sparks start to fly. After Izzy finds out about her own file and is confronted with confusion about her past, she turns to Gunner for help. But Gunner is running from his own past and doesn't want to involve anyone—especially a Caliendo woman. He is so close to freedom—how can he turn back now? The more time he and Izzy spent together, however, makes it harder and harder for either of them to walk away. Will they simply finish the files and go their separate ways or will deceit, lies and secrecy actually bring these two people from opposite worlds together?"
