All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

[ON HOLD] At thirty-four, Aria has everything: success, independence, and a life most would envy. Everything except the one thing she wants most: a child. Denied that dream throughout her marriage, she refuses to waste another second on the wrong man. This time, she is searching with purpose, for someone who can give her exactly what she needs. But modern dating is not on her side. So when her best friend Savannah offers an escape to the elusive Paradise Island, a destination whispered about but rarely seen, Aria takes the risk. What she does not know is that Paradise Island is not just a getaway. It is a playground for the elite, where desires are indulged and secrets never leave. Damian built his empire from nothing, and Paradise Island is one of his most profitable and dangerous investments. When Savannah brings him an irresistible proposition involving a woman he has only admired from afar, he cannot stay away. Aria fascinates him before they have even met, and once their paths collide, walking away is no longer an option. He knows exactly what she wants. And he intends to give it to her. But Damian is not chasing Aria for the reasons she believes. If he succeeds in giving them both the one thing they desire most, he will be forced to reveal the truth, one that could shatter everything before it even begins. On Paradise Island, fantasies come true. But some desires come with a cost.
