If Rebekah Cummings is the only one willing to teach him, then so be it. She’s never minded getting her hands dirty. But when she ends up working as a cook on one of Gilbert’s ships, she finds both her and Gilbert trapped in an uncomfortably close situation. And with that closeness come a few too many memories of their growing up years-back before Gilbert let his family’s money turn him into an arrogant, broody grump. Back when she and Gilbert were friends. When those memories start turning into feelings, not about the past, but about the man who might have a much softer heart than Rebekah thought… But billionaires don’t marry working class women. Gilbert knows it. Rebekah knows it. The entire town knows it. But what if Rebekah can’t get out of the mess she’s created without losing her heart?
