Unfortunately, her bank account was not. She's about to lose her gift shop due to her hidden location. When the town which rarely allows hotels announces they are designating a plot of land for one, Marigold convinces her father to bid on the land and build one of his boutique hotels on it so she can move her shop into it. But also bidding on the same plot of land is property developer and insanely hunky Dane Knight. She's got to keep her guard up, because his interest in her may be only to get her to drop her bid for the land. She just wishes he wasn't the first guy in years to make her knees buckle. For weeks, Dane has been trying to get the girl he met at the bonfire out of his brain. As she crystalizes in front of him at the bar of the WaterColor clubhouse, he knows his daydreams of her didn't stack up to the real thing. But he just got out of a poisonous relationship. His ex has a bad habit of dropping her kids off without notice, and he's too big of a sucker for them to say no. A relationship with Marigold is out of the question.
