Sometimes, the one beside you was the perfect person all along…

Rumor Lovelace wanted nothing more than to focus on herself, her business and a contract that could bring her new opportunities. She didn’t know her twin sister had other plans—ones that involved a childhood best friend.

Cantrell Hollister met Rumor nearly two decades ago. When Rumor needed someone to stand between her and her sister’s strategic nonsense, he volunteered. He had his own issues he was processing that a pre-wedding vacation could help him escape.
