Book excerpt: Biting banter is all they know. But messy feelings have a way of coming to the surface in this beachside romance from USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey. Paige Young and Cole Clark are polar opposites. A world traveler since birth, Paige loves to lead activities for guests at a luxury island resort in Turks and Caicos. From bingo nights to cliffside hikes, Paige is up for anything. Cole, meanwhile, prefers his number-crunching desk job. He's the assistant director at the resort--stiff and meticulous. He's so by the book that he keeps the book. In his desk drawer. They're perfectly aligned in one way, though--their ability to drive each other crazy. Every day brings a fresh battle of wits. They're rivals, archnemeses...and they're definitely never going to talk about that one time they kissed. Ha ha. Nope! But when Paige finds out that Cole has been ordered to fire her on the same day a hurricane threatens their little slice of paradise, it's clear the game is over. At odds, in peril, and forced to shelter in place together, these two enemies might finally have to confront their true feelings. (You know, the ones hidden under all those withering looks.)
