Reviewer, Goodreads

The last thing this small town girls she needs is for some big-city know-it-all to destroy everything she loves…

Tourism director Dani Sullivan is desperate to save her island home from bankruptcy—and that means rebuilding the Grand Sullivan Hotel, a once-glorious hotel that burned to the ground ten years ago. (And, in the aftermath, tore apart her family.) So fine, okay, yes, she’ll bring in an outside developer to help ignite the project. Except his too-modern, big city vision is exactly not what her small town—her she—needs.
Or is it?

It’s his last chance to get everything he wants…and she’s standing in the way.

The woman just won’t listen. Sure, architect Liam Stone isn’t a fan of small towns located in the middle of nowhere. But when his about-to-retire father hands him the assignment to rebuild the Grand, it’s his chance to prove he can take over the company. Only problem—the stubborn tourism director-slash-protector of Jonathon Island refuses to see things his way.

Maybe Liam can change her mind. Except Dani’s plan is to change his mind. It’s a duel of visions…until another builder shows up with big plans…

Suddenly they both see what’s at stake, and it isn’t only the Grand Hotel. But is it too late to save everything they both love?

Join the battle for the future of Jonathon Island in this heartwarming fish-out-of-water, rivals to move, and fresh-starts small-town romance, the first in the Jonathon Island series.
