Caro Soliz is used to the shadows. By day, she’s a head maid for the notorious House of Morgan, meticulously cleaning the Star Island estate of Miami’s elite. By night, she’s an aspiring designer sketching the dreams she’s too afraid to chase. She’s spent years trying to forget the college crush who kissed her outside a library and then vanished, taking her heart with him.
Dr. Luke Marshall has finally returned to Miami, but he’s not the man Caro remembers. He’s a newly discovered heir to the Morgan billions, a family defined by headlines and heartaches. When a chance encounter reunites them, the spark between them is instantaneous and undeniable—but the secrets they’re keeping are enough to ruin them both.
As a family crisis involving a kidnapped nephew and a missing bride threatens to pull the House of Morgan apart, Caro must decide if she can step out of her uniform and into Luke’s world. In a city where class lines are drawn in the sand, it will take a Christmas miracle to prove that love is the one thing money can’t buy.
USA Today Bestselling Author, Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.
During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.
She’s always been determined. She is amazing, adventurous and assured on a regular basis. Her website is www.victoriapinder.com.
