Left at the altar on her wedding day, Autumn Elizabeth Ashley, angry and broken hearted takes off on what should have been her Honeymoon with her Maid of Honor and best friend Nadia Havarti.
Autumn tries to just drown her sorrows, but Nadia won’t stand for it. Instead, she helps Autumn to remember what single is supposed to feel like. So, when a strapping mountain of unidentified local man shows … man shows interest, Autumn takes a cue from her BFF with the repercussions to match.
Dalian Emeterio grew up between worlds. His family moved from their Pious and beautiful home in Georgetown, Cayman Islands to the United States when he was just a boy.

One winter night while working at a Rum Point Hotel he meets Beth and the sparks fly leading to an explosive New Year. Waking alone on the sand he thought he’d never see her again.
Ten years have passed, he is now the owner of The Georgetown Heirs, a chain of intimate hotels along the most popular Port of Calls in the Caribbean, Bahamas and the Western Atlantic.
Faced with the woman who left him on the beach, he’s about to find out that getting what you wish for always comes with strings.

How did they include so many important things and still tell a story that captured you from the start?!!
There were so many ’wrongs’ – their farthers, the fiance, the trial and more…
I loved it.

Autumn is jilted on her wedding day with a note that just says I’m sorry so she goes on the honeymoon cruise that was booked with her BFF Nadia instead of her no account almost-husband. Autumn meets Ian, an island boy, and they have sex on the beach. When Ian wakes up afterward, he finds a broken condom and tries to catch the ship before it leaves port. Fast forward 10 years. Autumn and Nadia are on another cruise with their two sons and two nannies, David and Jimmy. It is a Disney Cruise and it just so happens to dock in the same place as the time 10 years back, This story has plenty of action of the steamy kind and ends in a HEA. Highly recommended.

The author went above and beyond for this storyline. The twists and surprises do not stop, even in the ending. Autumn and Dalian meet when she goes to the Bahamas on her honeymoon, minus her groom who stood her up at the altar. Her best friend Nadia is there to keep her going. Ten years later, they reconnect there, with a little extra. Nadia and David are also a huge part of the story. The parents are another whole story all together. The action and twists will not let you put the book down, and it is surprising how many directions this story goes before it is all done. Loved the variety of situations and how they were handled, even some past trauma closure. Very well done.

They have an incredible chemistry which led to an unforgettable night together. They both gave nicknames and were never able to track the other down. Years later they are brought back together by fate. There is more to their story than he knew. Both characters deserved a second chance at happiness. Now they can have that happy future as a family.

Outstanding Love Story . . .
Some things are meant to be, and nothing can prevent that. Autumn Elizabeth Ashley, whom Nadia nicknamed “Beth”, was left at the altar on the day of her wedding. Thankfully her best friend and maid of honor, Nadia Havarti, would not let her friend drown in sorrow. She convinces them to enjoy the honeymoon package and for Autumn to enjoy the attentions of a sexy stranger. Autumn left him asleep on the beach. When she discovered she needed to talk with him about something unexpected and important, she had no contact information to find him and only his nickname “Ian”. He also couldn’t find her since Autumn was known to him by her nickname of “Beth”.
Ten years later, Autumn Ashley and Dalian Emeterio have an unexpected reunion. Destiny brings them back together and, although both their lives are very different, the chemistry and connection between them is stronger than ever. Both Dalian and his mom see Kaleb and know immediately who his father is. Would Autumn let him back in her life? Would Kaleb want to get to know his father?
There is so much more in this book and I loved every minute of it. The characters are wonderful, and seeing the possibility for them to become the family they were meant to be is exciting. Grab your copy and see what the future has laid out for them. Will they finally get their HEA?

This is a second chance romance. The story has great characters with lots of chemistry and a storyline you will not want to put down.
This story not only followed the budding relationship of Autumn and Dalian after ten years apart, but it also told the story of Nadia and David, and all the turmoil that unfolded with the two women’s families. There was a lot to unpack in this book, but the storyline was fast-paced and kept me intrigued and reading whenever I had a moment to escape to my reading nook.

Island Heir is the first book by both of these authors that I have read. I loved reading and following Autumn and Dalian’s story. When they first meet, she is on her honeymoon with her best friend after the groom leaves her at the altar. They meet again ten years later with emotional twists and turns. I found the book a joy to read and look forward to reading more from both authors.

“Island Heir” by S. I. Hayes
My Speculation:
“IslandHeir” was quite an entertaining read with some very intriguing characters that will grip your attention till the end, primarily as the story deals with Autumn Elizabeth Ashley [Beth] and Dalian Emeterio. I love how they met and were brought together once again that produces [ten years later] a son is introduced to his father. I enjoyed the best friend of Beth…Nadia Havarti. To have a BFF, like Nadia, was something in this day and age.
Be prepared for lots of drama with emotions that will lead to some unforeseen twists and turns as you are traveling through the read. Be ready for some hot detailed spicy, sex scenes as only these two authors can give so well to their readers.
This is a well written book with strong characters and an entertaining story line. The authors had me hooked from start to finish reading Beth and Dalian’s story. They do a great job developing the story and pulling you in with all the drama and emotions as well as the twists along the way. It’s brought to life with descriptive and detailed scenes,flows fluidly and I enjoyed reading.

Fantastic story! Characters that will steal your heart. A storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and glued to your kindle! For me it was a love- hate deal as the characters face their demons. You will feel their emotions and struggles. A definite must read.

This starts out as a simple romance with Beth and Dalian who meet after she gets left at the alter and her and her friend take her honeymoon trip where she spends a hot night with him only to leave early the next morning. Fast forward ten years later and they meet again on a cruise where he finds out his is the father to her son. There are some twists and drama in this story which may or may not help Beth and Dalain decide if a real relationship is possible.
This is a great read. I love the characters and am happy with how the author gives us not only a well developed and engaging characters but a storyline you can sink your teeth into.

The wonderfully created characters and the great storyline kept me totally engaged as I turned each and every page until the very end!
Beth was left at the alter by her fiancé, Nadia talked her into going the honeymoon cruise since it was already paid for. Dalian and Beth had a one night stand, when he woke up Beth was gone with his shirt and then he saw that the last condom had broken he tried to catch her before the cruise ship left the harbor. But he was too late and he just knew that she was pregnant since they had exchanged real names he didn’t know where to start. Then 10 years later they meet again on the Disney cruise and when he sees Kaleb he knows that is his son, Ian told Beth that he wanted to see his son and be in his life. They finally got together and became a family even with the problems that the fathers had caused when they were younger.

Her father said that to her best friend since kindergarten that Nadia had to leave if she didn’t, she would loose everything that she had. But then he killed himself when Beth was pressing charges. They had a double wedding and all of them stayed together and had great lives too!
Between these two Authors, you get such good reading. I mean on their own great reading. This one had four characters & it was amazing. Main characters were Autumn & Dalian. Autumn was stood up at the alter so she & her best friend Nadia went on what would have been her honeymoon. Instead of sulking, she let her hair down & found herself an Island Boy. Things happened and 10 years later Autumn and Nadia find themselves in front of The Island Boy who is now a man named Dalian. Autumn never stopped thinking of him. Nadia feel in love with the nanny. David they both had for their kids. Now that Dalian has figured out that Autumn has a child. He realizes that her child is actually his child as well. Such a good story line. Both girls found out some shocking things about their past that these men help them through this hard time.
