Ember Flint - 2019
    37-year-old Damon Broderick is the imposing, strait-laced President and CEO of his family multi-ventures conglomerate. Romance is the last thing on his list, in fact, he is quite tired of all the debutantes chasing after him and he can’t wait to leave New York City behind and just focus on the grand opening of the Sundown Whisper Resort, the latest addition to his family’s chain of hotels in the breathtaking island of Puesta del Sol.24-year-old Ellie Silver is a spunky and full of energy girl with a big heart and more curves than she knows what to do with. She always tries to see the bright side of things, but she’s really unhappy working as a customer service consultant for a huge soulless multinational. When her best friend tells her about an opening in one of the prettiest, most wild and quaint Florida Keys, she can’t help but think that her luck is finally changing. In the hottest day of the summer, just as the sun goes down on the glistening golden shores of the island, they both end up finding more than they came looking for. Dear Reader: This island-getaway romance is a summer holiday for your mind, hot like the sun, salty like the sand and filled with filthy piña-colada-sweetness to the brim. As usual, this is a book with a scorching happily-ever-after, NO-cheating and no OW/OM drama and features a curvaceous, innocent but plucky heroine and an over-the-top protective alpha hero head over heels in love with her in seconds! Don’t miss out on the sexy times under the setting sun, grab your sunscreen and take a plunge: you won’t regret it! *Please note that Drunk on you is part of the ‘Sundown Whisper’s Island Series’, each one of the stories focuses only on one couple and there are no cliffhangers but going through them in order can provide a better reading experience.
