Two rivals.
One fake marriage.
Too many secrets.
Trina Bollani needs a husband—according to her parents. They don’t care that she’s happier than ever managing the Brookwell Island Inn. They just want a good man to bring her home to Italy.
The one man who intrigues Trina? An impossible catch. He’s her old rival, her best friend’s older brother…and not one of the potential grooms her parents have sent to court her.
Just looking at Trina annoys Rhett Ellington. She was the thorn in his side in college and now her inn is a direct competitor with his family's luxury properties. But when the Bollanis accidentally unearth the darkest part of Trina’s past, Rhett watches her crumble.
To his surprise, he longs to protect her—but that means pretending to be her husband…
If you like suspenseful romance blended with coastal beach vibes, a marriage of convenience, and a grumpy protector who falls first into a happily ever after, you'll love Island Guardian!
