Estranged friends get reacquainted on the sandy beaches of Cancun in Scott’s saucy fourth Accidental Billionaires romance (after Enamored). When food and travel blogger Andie Lawrence agrees to go on vacation with her childhood best friend Owen’s oldest brother in order to teach him to relax, she’s shocked at the level of attraction she feels for the man she hasn’t seen in years and once considered a mentor. Eight years Andie’s senior, wealthy workaholic Noah Sinclair always thought of her as his kid brother’s shy friend, and he’s so amazed by her transformation into a beautiful woman that he’s only mildly annoyed his brother failed to mention she’d be joining him on his forced vacation. Andie’s resolve to get Noah to loosen up and actually have some fun leads to two weeks of adventure, intimate conversations, and love-making. It’s enough to make Noah contemplate a future for the two of them, but wild child Andie balks at the thought of settling down. This sexy, hopeful love story allows Scott ample opportunity to show off her mastery of flirtatious dialogue and well-paced relationship development. Readers will be hard-pressed not to root for Noah and Andie. (Apr.)
