Friday Spotlight- Will Work for Love by @AmieDenman @FictionWitches #TMPress


A BAREFOOT Book
When Hurricane Destiny sweeps across the island of St. Thomas in September, the East family isn’t worried about their vacation home. After all, a property management company handles insurance and repairs. Just to be sure, though, they send maid of honor Whitney Oliver to St. Thomas for a two-week vacation just prior to the Christmas Eve wedding of their daughter Taylor.

Instead of a tropical vacation, Whitney finds an estate heavily damaged and untouched by the contractor who cashed the checks. With only two weeks to pull the venue together for a wedding in paradise, she accepts the help of a sexy islander with an amazing skill for construction. Chris Maxwell, owner of Blue Isle Construction, is blown away by Whitney the moment she arrives on the island. Putting the East family estate together board by board is the only thing he can do to help Whitney—and himself.

Working side by side and day and night by the sparkling blue water’s edge, Whitney and Chris fall hard for each other. Hurricane Destiny brought them together, but will secrets surrounding Chris’ construction company tear them apart?

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. To celebrate Independence Day, this is a great refreshing dessert full of sweet citrus Mandarin oranges and mouthwatering tropical pineapple that will have you scarfing it up like a pig at the trough. Enjoy this treat anytime, but most of all, I hope you enjoy the upcoming holiday with family and friends, fireworks and really delicious SCENTsational foods!
