WHEN LOVE MEANS TAKING A CHANCE A decade ago, Ana Capuano was the golden girl of Seasalter High-the ambitious and unstoppable valedictorian. But law school broke her, and now she's stuck in a life that feels like a shadow of what should have been. She's convinced she's a failure with nothing to offer to anyone, much less a romantic partner.
Roman Montgomery was the school's star athlete who operated with an effortless charm. But watching his father walk out and seeing his brother's marriage crumble convinced him that love is a disaster waiting to happen. To protect himself-and any woman who dares get close to him-he keeps romance at arm's length.
Now, fate throws Ana and Roman back together at the enchanting, newly opened Moonrise Inn when they return home for the wedding of their best friends. But when the nuptials are abruptly canceled, they find themselves caught in the middle of their friends' resentful breakup, their loyalties tested.
Ana and Roman can't ignore the crackling tension and undeniable chemistry between them. Acting on their feelings means risking their friends' disapproval-and taking a chance on the kind of love they both swore they'd never trust.
