Allie Boniface

When a blue-collar bachelor unexpectedly falls for his friend's little sister, he'll risk everything to save the brainy beauty from the wilds of an island storm. Aidan Nolan has always been a lone wolf, a playboy extraordinaire and confirmed bachelor at forty-four. When he takes a job building high-end homes on Drake Isle, the last person he expects to run into is the cute-as-hell sister of a high school friend he hasn't seen in years. And the last thing he expects is to feel his stone-cold heart stirring. Nature photographer Jules McNerney is on Drake Isle for the most important assignment of her career. But when she realizes the sexy silver fox working construction up the beach is the teenage stud she crushed on for years, her photos are about to take a back seat to, well, him. Summer storms don't have anything on the passion that explodes between them, but do Aidan and Jules have what it takes to survive a protective older brother and a fast-moving hurricane destroying everything in its path? If you like small town island romance, then you'll love this short novella in the Drake Isle series, a new story with familiar characters and its own complete happy ending!
