About this ebook
Maddie Jacobs must be crazy. At least that’s what her mother thinks. Professionally, she’s confident and secure; personally, she’s a hot mess. Not even a marriage proposal from a man who adores her can quell her search for something more.
In need of an escape, Maddie flees to Key West’s most southern island, Bella Key, to rest and recharge at Casa Bonita. She almost gives up on the weekend retreat when the Bed & Breakfast is closed for repairs until Sunny Rojas, the inn owner, extends an offer of friendship, sweet tea and a room. Still reeling from a breakup with her longtime partner, Sunny is thankful for the diversion from her own broken heart.
The arrival of a fierce storm forces the women’s emotional journey to a head and leads them into each other’s arms. But can Maddie throw her hangups to the wind and go with her heart? The magic of Bella Key teaches her that passion cannot be placed neatly into boxes labeled right and wrong, because love knows no boundaries.

Chapter One
Moist air hit Madison Jacobs like a hot blanket as she attempted to hail a cab outside the Miami office building. Her meeting had wrapped up sooner than expected and she’d hoped to grab an earlier flight back to Portland. Cabs whooshed by, blowing steamy exhaust-laden air over her face. She hated cities, and Miami wasn't tops on her list. She waved her arm in the air, summoning an old-fashioned checkered cab, which squealed to a stop at her feet.
How do people handle this?
she asked the cabbie, sliding into the seat. She pinched and tugged at the placket of her blouse, allowing the sad excuse for the cab’s air conditioning to reach the inner depths of her sweat-soaked bra.
Not from around here, huh?
The cabbie’s grin reflected from the rearview mirror, his eyes darting about eight inches lower than they should’ve been stationed.
Maddie cleared her throat, covered the opening of her blouse and pointed toward the windshield. How about you keep your eyes straight ahead and take me to the airport? Thank you.
Must be a New Yorker,
the cabbie muttered under his breath.
Maddie cracked the window and shrugged. He’d been half right. She’d earned the New Yorker
title by spending her undergrad years at NYU before taking the job at Milano and Jones Public Relations. After a few years in New York specializing in creating the marketing campaigns for a few B-listed romance authors, she hit pay-dirt. Her hard work had finally paid off when a couple of successful advertising campaigns catapulted her clients to the top of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling lists. Maddie soon morphed into M&J’s rep-in-demand. She caught the attention of the company’s C-Suiters who offered her a transfer to the Portland office, as most of her clients lived in the Pacific Northwest. The promotion couldn’t have come at a better time.
Taking a deep breath, she pulled her phone from her purse to check her voice mails. A groan erupted from her lips as she squinted at yet another message from Tim. Better to get it over now, she thought. She slid her finger over the message button and pinched the bridge of her nose as she held the phone to her ear.
Hey Mads, it's me again. Listen. Can we talk when you get back? I know you said you needed space but I don't get it. You up and left without so much as a good-bye. Anyway, let's talk. Okay? I'm sure we can work it out.
Tim had a point. She hauled her ass out of New York so fast, no one saw it coming, especially Tim. She sucked at breakups. What better way to get rid of a guy she would never love than move across the country? Three thousand miles seemed like enough distance to gum
