The soul-stirring novel of a love story that will shred your heart.
- - - - - Beckham and Rinoa are both in their 30’s. He doesn’t do the girlfriend thing. She doesn’t do the boyfriend thing.
He’s a grumpy ex-Army soldier who owns a fitness and wellness company. She’s sassy, feisty, and owns a snarky t-shirt business.
They meet at a destination wedding in Belize, where they’re paired together as groomsman/bridesmaid. They don’t exactly hit it off, but then accidentally get to first base during the reception! She freaks out, and leaves… putting all thoughts of the insanely hot Beckham Stone aside.
But fast-forward a few months… She’s just arrived in Cancun, for another destination wedding…. and finds out HE’S going to be there…. And they’re paired together as groomsman/bridesmaid again!
This is not your typical sweet/swoony romance. Their spicy love story will crush your heart 💔
Dual POV Forced proximity Standalone, no cliffhanger NSFW Possessive/protective MMC He falls first Sworn off relationships Emotional scars

After I get home from seeing the girls, my phone pings. It’s a text from Beck.
Beck: Send me your address Beck: I’ll pick you up at 7p tomorrow Me: Where are you taking me? Beck: Where do you want to go? Me: Where do you normally take your DATES? Beck: I don’t DATE Me: Ok where would be your usual pre-hook-up dinner? Beck: I have a few places in mind Me: Great. I don’t want to be anywhere near any of those places
I see dots appear, but disappear. Then appear again, then disappear. It takes a few minutes, but my phone eventually dings.
Beck: Change of plans Beck: Not doing ‘dinner’ Beck: We’re going on a date Beck: This is nonnegotiable Me: ? Me: On one condition…. Are you finally going to tell me why you call me Opal? Beck: Re-read my previous text. This is nonnegotiable Me: Re-read MY previous text. I want to know why you call me Opal
