      The Boss’s Baby Bargain

      When resort developer Cameron McNeill goes undercover to root out problems at his prized island property, his first discovery is the irresistible concierge, Maresa Delphine. Her business smarts are vital to his mission. But the struggling single mom could help with his personal mission, too: fulfilling the marriage terms of his grandfather’s will.

      Maresa is overwhelmed caring for her infant niece and tending to the demands of the resort’s sexy mystery guest. When he reveals himself as the owner, she’s thrown for a loop. But when he proposes...can she resist his brand of trouble in paradise?

      “Maresa.”

      Her name on his lips was a warning. A chance to change her mind.

      She understood that she was pushing a boundary. Recognized that he’d just drawn a line in the sand.

      “I didn’t mind giving up my dream job in Paris to care for Rafe and help my mother recover,” she confided, giving him absolutely no context for her comment and hoping he understood what she was saying. “And I will gladly give eighteen years to raise my niece as my own daughter.” She’d known it without question the moment Jaden had handed her Isla. “But I’m not sure I can sacrifice the chance to have this kiss.”

      She’d crossed the boundary. Straight into “certifiable” territory. She must have cried out all her good sense.

      His blue eyes simmered with more heat than a St. Thomas summer. He cupped her chin, cradling her face like she was something precious.

      “If I thought you wouldn’t regret it tomorrow, I’d give you all the kisses you could handle.”

      Thank you, Barbara, for teaching me the value of

      “Rafe, I need you in the Antilles Suite today.” Maresa Delphine handed her younger brother a gallon jug of bubble bath. “I have a guest checking in who needs a hot bath on arrival, but he isn’t sure what time he’ll get here.”

      Her twenty-one-year-old sibling—who’d recently suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident—didn’t
