In paradise...with the boss!
When CEO Cabe Jordan accidently insults employee Jenna Townsend, he needs to make amends, and fast! Whisking her away on a business trip to the Caribbean could be the perfect opportunity.
After a difficult childhood, Jenna has always made work her priority. Only, Cabe is very distracting... How can she impress him when all she can think about is, well, kissing him! The dreams she’s spent her life suppressing are soon to be awakened—if only she’d let down her defenses!
“Do you know what it took to get you to come to the Caribbean?” he said. “Worse than negotiating a store lease agreement. It was quite a challenge, I must say.”
Her smile widened. “Yet another one that you’ve met and conquered.”
“Was that a compliment? Or a dig? Somewhat hard to tell.”
She shrugged, watched as a gaggle of dancing teenagers pranced by them. “Merely a statement.”
He took another sip of the coconut drink. “Pity. I was hoping for the former.”
“Fishing for compliments, are you?”
“My ego is a fragile thing.” He held his hand to his chest with mock melodrama.
That laugh again; he could easily get used to it. “Something tells me you come by compliments quite often,” she said.
He took a moment to respond, deciding to throw caution to the wind. “Some compliments mean more than others, given the source.”

THIS DEFINITELY WASN’T in her job description.
Jenna Townsend glanced at her watch, not actually noting the time. Then glanced at it again. A car should be picking him up from the airport right at this moment. Which meant he would be here at her office within the hour. She took a too-large swig of coffee and gasped as it burned her tongue and throat. Why was she so nervous? Babysitting the CEO of Jordan’s Fine Jewelry for the next several days shouldn’t warrant this much anxiety.
Cabe Jordan, CEO extraordinaire, was on his way back to Boston. The man who’d taken the small business his parents started in the historic North End and made it one of the most profitable national corporations of the last decade.
Hard to believe they’d grown up together in the same small town just outside Boston. Two years ahead of her in school, Cabe had been her older brother’s bane of existence, besting Sam at everything. Her brother had not been happy when she’d taken the position of regional manager and started working for his nemesis. But opportunities like this weren’t ones to be passed up, not for someone like her.
The job had been everything she could have hoped for and more. Until the email in her inbox the other day “requesting” her assistance in escorting Mr. Jordan as he revisited the flagship Boston site. For some reason, he’d specifically requested that she be his local liaison on this trip. Jenna shook her head.
Why did he need one anyway?
She’d felt like she’d been sent to the principal’s office, unable to shake the feeling
