Her First Bad Decision

See available purchase options

The family business was supposed to teach her independence. Not how badly she wanted her mother’s right hand.

Tamsin Cade has spent her whole life being underestimated. As the youngest daughter of a luxury-hotel dynasty, she’s used to people seeing the surname before they see the MBA, the experience, or the plan to save her family’s iconic coastal resort from a private-equity takeover.

What she does not have is her mother’s trust. Or any ability to think straight around Nicolette Arbour.

Nix is the Cade family’s formidable chief of staff — controlled, devastating, and fourteen years older than Tamsin. She’s spent a decade running the empire from the inside and she knows exactly why falling for the boss’s twenty-six-year-old daughter would be the worst decision of her career.

Then one stormy night in a lighthouse changes everything.

As Tamsin fights to prove she deserves her name and Nix fights to keep the only life she’s built, they begin a secret summer affair that neither woman can afford. Tamsin is determined to prove this isn’t a phase. Nix is determined not to become a beautiful mistake in the life of a woman who’s always had somewhere safe to land.
