    A stand-alone tale of finding love at Lone Wolf Ranch. Michael: I wasn’t prepared to fall in love today. But there she is – my best friend’s daughter. I haven’t seen Skylar in a few years, and now when I look at her— Everything has changed. I know some might say I should stay away, but I must make this beautiful woman my bride or I’ll live without love forever. She’s the one for me and there can be no others. Skylar: I’ve always had a crush on Michael – a handsome older cowboy. But that’s all it was supposed to be— just a thing that would pass in time. Only now when I look at him I see my destiny instead. Can I really fall for this forbidden cowboy? Should I let myself be loved by him? A few things are certain: Cowboys appreciate natural beauty. Cowboys fall hard. Cowboys love forever.

    One of them being my impending wedding, and my desire to be far, far away from the groom. This vacation is all about girl time and “me time,” so the last thing I need is to meet and fall for a soft-spoken resort employee. But, the refreshingly shy, polite and slightly nerdy Brooks is unlike anyone I’ve ever met. The more I see him, the faster his shyness burns off like fog in the South Pacific sunshine, and soon the life I left behind is a distant memory.BrooksI meet a lot of celebrities on this rock, and none of them have ever left me starstruck. Until the day Jax Pierce walks into my life. As a man with no game when it comes to women, I’m not prepared for this day. More importantly, all I can think about is my lifelong crush on this woman. I feel as awkward as I felt at 13, and it shows in the way I keep tripping over my words and missing her jokes. However, the more time I spend with Jax, the more I realize what she needs. Me. I might not have moves, but I do have enthusiasm, loyalty, and complete devotion. There’s no choice in the matter; she’s going to be on an island vacation with me for the rest of our lives.
