Chloe Caldwell has been working for Dalton Resorts for quite a while. Six years ago, when recent MBA graduate Luke Hunter came to work for the company, she recognized someone who was on his way to the top, so she hitched her wagon to his star and they'd made a good team ever since. However, back on Caldwell Island (named after her ancestors who discovered it) off the coast of South Carolina, her grandmother worries about her in the big city. So Chloe has told Gran a little fib. She's told her she's engaged to Luke, so now Granny isn't worried about her.
Things are going swimmingly for Chloe, until one day Luke gets an invitation to come down to the island with Chloe, his fiance. Chloe is embarrassed about it and she tells Luke why she gave her grandmother that impression. Luke surprises her by buying two tickets for South Carolina. He's agreed to play along and Chloe is touched, thinking he'd do that for her. But Luke has an ulterior motive. He wants to scout the island for a resort hotel and Chloe's family offers him good cover, which he needs, because he's afraid if the local land owners find out an out-of-towner is around looking for land the price will go sky high.

However the best laid plans of mice and men, or so they say, often go awry. Sparks fly between Luke and Chloe. It looks like love is going to bloom after all those years of working together. But what will happen when Chloe finds out the real reason Luke agreed to their little masquerade?
