A reclusive billionaire. A feisty employee who unmasks celebrities. Can their unanticipated love survive amid secrets and deceit?

Joshua Jewel, owner of Jewel Enterprises, has an enormous net worth, famous siblings, and a thriving business to boot. But he also has a problem. Someone has embezzled a million dollars from his company, and he has to investigate among his top, most trusted employees. He devises a unique plan to get to know his suspects up close and personal- a company cruise excursion. What he didn’t plan for is his top suspect, a gorgeous and brilliant young employee, to steal his heart completely. How can he trust her when she may be playing him for all he’s worth? Jade Jardine has been anxious to meet the elusive Joshua Jewel and see if the celebrity who hides his face from the world is incredible or insane. But when someone accuses her of embezzling money from Joshua’s company, her hopes for a fun and relaxing week disappear. Jade is more than surprised when her unbelievably attractive boss not only takes an interest in her, he seems to be genuinely falling for her. Joshua may be the man of her dreams, but how can she give her heart to him when he may not believe her intentions are true? As sparks begin to fly, Joshua and Jade’s trust are put to the test. Will Joshua turn out to be the hero Jade needs or a wealthy jerk who only cares about his bottom line? And will Jade even give him the chance to try? The author’s inspiration for parts of the novel:

“This book was especially fun as I used my husband and I’s anniversary trip to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean cruise… as the setting. I was able to use a lot of the activities that we did as well. I’m terrified of heights and am trying hard to conquer that fear. When you read about Jade doing the climbing wall, know that is exactly how it happened for me. It was embarrassing!”
