There’s another high school reunion taking place on the shores of Barefoot Bay and it’s bringing some timeless romance to the beach… ready to ditch the whole thing and resume his life as an adventure-seeking world traveler until he discovers a woman sobbing on his doorstep…and has an idea.
By her own admission, advertising copywriter Emma DeWitt is jaded, jilted, and jobless, but she goes over the edge when she learns that the resort villa that was supposed to be the site of her romantic honeymoon is occupied by a single man. But when the sexy silver fox whose staying in the villa surprises her with an irresistible offer to pose as his fake fiancée, Emma sees a way to have her week in paradise and begin healing her broken heart.
Mark believes every person has only one soul mate…and he’s met, married, and buried his. Emma believes that love is a marketing concept created to sell fairy tales and expensive weddings. What if they are both wrong…and completely right for each other?

I was given this book free in exchange for an honest review.
Another thrilling, emotional ride on the Barefoot Bay roller coaster! In this new Barefoot Bay series, St. Claire is giving us men who are slightly older, slightly wiser and possibly slightly more patient in the bedroom. That’s a winning combination for this gal.
Mark married his high school sweetheart, the one he considered his soulmate. Since she died sixteen years ago, he has roamed the world–alone. He occasionally gets “signs” from his former wife and the latest one is telling him to attend his class reunion at Barefoot Bay. He finds a weeping Emma literally on his doorstep and discovers she was just left at the altar and had planned to spend her honeymoon in the bed he is currently sleeping in. She is a woman fed up with lying men!
Mark is amazingly attracted to her, considering he’s already had his one great love. They strike a deal that includes no romance, no heart involvement. She will help him keep the ladies at the reunion away from him, and in return she can stay with him at the resort. Is it possible for them to stick to the plan or will love find it’s way into their hearts and souls? Be swept away, again, by Barefoot Bay. You won’t be disappointed!
Enjoyed this story. Just wish it could have concluded in the first book
It’s nice to read a book about a more mature relationship. I get tired of the twenty-something books.
Finally a good adult romance. We folks over fourty have great romantic stories that need to be told. Thanks for telling one!
This is in a great series. Roxanne is a great writer.
I enjoyed reading this book and found it an easy and entertaining read. My only problem is that silver fox stories are always about older men and younger women instead of gorgeous, beautiful women their own age. In that respect, this book could have been better.
Love this series! Sweet and romantic, great for a summer read.
