Rouda, K: Her Forbidden Love

Stepping off the ferry onto Indigo Island for her new job at Melrose Inn, Dorsey Pittman, is excited to have a fresh start, far from heartbreak and tragedy. Signing the no romantic relationship with staff clause is easy, as Dorsey's determined to focus on her career and not romantic entanglements, but every time the resort's tall, handsome and oh so sexy lifeguard, Jack Means, is close, sparks fly, and Dorsey feels like she's about to catch fire. Twenty-seven-year old Jack Means has secrets of his own and is only lifeguarding at Melrose Inn to ensure his advancement at Top Corp, where he's in line for a management position. But it's hard to remember why he's signed the no romantic relationship clause, when twenty-six-year-old Dorsey Pittman arrives on the island. For promises to stick out one more summer of life guarding before attaining his dream of a management position with Melrose Inn and Plantation. She's beautiful, adventurous, and impossible to ignore-but dating her could get him fired. Can Jack keep it casual and walk away from love when Dorsey might be the one woman who can hold, and heal, his heart?
