About this ebook

 Anya Caliendo left her family and their resort two years ago. She was ashamed and afraid that her family would blame her for some of their father’s ruthless dealings. Now she returns to the resort in secret to find files to clear her name, but she doesn’t plan on running into her one-time lover, Quinn. 
Quinn used to work for Anya’s father too and he’s out to do the same as Anya – clear his name. When he runs into Anya, they strike a deal to help one another. Quinn wonders how he can trust a Caliendo to keep her word. Will she turn out to be just like her father? 

Amid the secret meetings and late-night file searches, Anya and Quinn also fight a connection that seems to draw them closer and closer. Will they be able to clear their names and rekindle a romance or will their past destroy the future they so desperately seek? 

This book can be read as a STAND ALONE, but for more enjoyment read them in the order of the series, as all the characters appear in future books. 

"Ms. Leah’s ability to create romantic scenes that are like wispy clouds, not clearly defined, not graphically detailed, but hinted at and fleeting after she has set the warm up scenes to intense passion. I always trust my imagination, and with Shannyn Leah’s guidance, it was sparking and sighing and once again, melting down. That is romance. That is sensual heat. Give us a tease and cut our minds and hearts loose to make the best scenes ever! Kind of brings out our own personal melting point, as if she wrote each scene specifically for each reader." ~Dii Tometender~

Anya and Quinn’s relationship began two years ago. Anya’s father was not to be trusted and Quinn worked for him. That didn’t stop her from falling in love with him despite his shady dealings. Quinn had a hidden agenda in getting close to Anya and the truth of that secret keeps him from going all in with her. This was a great lovers to enemies to lovers romance with a lot of push and pull in the beginning. These characters both have reason to keep their distance but the chemistry that flairs when they are together cannot be denied. I hurt for both Quinn and Anya as they suffered through so much to try to find their own form of redemption. I enjoyed the pace of this book as well as all the secondary characters and the added color they brought to the story. The steam factor isn’t high and it’s a fade to black but still gave me enough to feel the passion between the hero and heroine. While this isn’t a low angst read, it isn’t extreme either. Overall, this is a very nice book with characters that I cared about and was invested in. Would love to have had an epilogue but I’m hoping we’ll see more of them in the books following this one.

Contemporary romance author Shannyn Leah loves olives, lip gloss and reading (and writing) romance novels. Her love of words started at an early age and soon grew until, during her teenage years, she’d started writing her own novels. When her mom pushed to finally publish some of the stories, she quickly amassed two complete romance series (By The Lake and Caliendo Resort series) and, in 2016, released her first Fantasy Romance entitled The Gatekeepers (Part One of the Winters Rising series).
When she's not writing contemporary romance books into the early hours of the morning, Shannyn can be found antiquing with her two favorite people, her momma and sister, in their picturesque London, Ontario hometown.

Shannyn would love to get to know her readers as you get to know her (just don’t send her any carrots!)
