Nick Stevens was described by those who knew him as the quiet, good guy. He was the hometown hero people called when their furnace went out, their roof collapsed, or they needed some muscle. But no one knew that he secretly was an artist. His passion for home renovation and woodworking gave his quiet life meaning, and he had his eye on a gorgeous historical century home just outside of town that he knew he could restore to its former glory as a popular inn, if he could only save enough money. When celebrity bad-boy, and all-around pain in the ass Reese Michaels comes to town and buys up his dream, Nick is livid. No way is he going to let some Hollywood flash-in-the-pan steal his future or charm his town. If only the man wasn't so damn tempting.Reese Michaels had it all, a popular home improvement reality show, a lush, luxurious life in L.A. and friends that surrounded him morning, noon and night. That was until the heavy weight of fame caused him to lose everything, wildly and publicly. Now he thought it best to retreat to small town living, buy an old house and plan his comeback. The only problem was local carpenter Nick Stevens. He needed to stay far away from Nick, his perfect face, perfect body, and everything resembling a perfect temptation.Please Note: This book contains adult language and steamy adult activities, it is intended for 18+ Adults Only.

So many found their new home there that their names were lost to time, and the name of the island chain was changed to reflect their presence. Prince Caius is the newest exile to the islands, sent to a tiny spit of land called Terebinthos, home of Demos-the handsome young son of a fisherman in the island's single tiny village.
