Naomi’s life has always been set around goals. Graduate with top marks from Lightning Cove Prep, get a degree in political science, and put herself on a one-way train to the life of a politician through Harvard Law. Most importantly: make her father proud. It’s the least she can do since he’s the parent who stuck around. Everything was going according to plan. Expectations were a little high, but she was handling it. One bottle at a time. That is, until she met a particularly invasive, clingy, not at all capable of one-night stands bartender with an infectious smile and forest green eyes. Four years ago, Graham Rosales came into her life and became the first man in existence she wasn’t able to turn down. Especially when he looked at her like that, or when he touched her like this, or when he crawled to her that way, down on his hands and knees…

Graham Rosales has been in love with Naomi since the very first night she walked into El Rincón and threatened him into making her best friend’s birthday the best it had ever been. Instant heart eyes, completely gone, cupid could take the rest of eternity off. Graham desires nothing more than to worship her like a queen, is ready to fall to his knees for her if only she asks. Or snaps those manicured fingers. He knows he comes with a lot of baggage. There’s real darkness in his past that he’s spent the last two decades getting over, healing that was only possible because of his two best friends. But he knows what it takes to recover. He’s been through it all before. Only wants to help others struggling the way he did… So why won’t she let him help her…

It’s been two years since the last time they saw each other. Two years since a hotel room in Vegas and words that never should have been said.

Now Penelope Hastings and Elias Santos are getting married and have planned an entire week of rest and relaxation in Vermont leading up to their long-awaited nuptials.

Forced to share a cabin with the bride and groom, Graham and Naomi have to face each other again. With the threat of unraveling secrets and nothing but a door standing between them and their past, only one thing is clear: neither of them have arrived the same as they once were, and neither knows how the week will end.

In love?
In loathing?
Or in lies?
