Upon A Stormy Night (The Daimsbury Chronicles Book 0)

A British billionaire and golden child from Surrey's village of Daimsbury, Lars Rutherford came to the tiny island of Mauritius to take over directorship of his best friend’s shipping company. He’s not here for anything but the job, and certainly not—to the chagrin of the many matchmaking society mamas in the country—to find the ‘right woman’ for him.

Corporate legal affairs specialist Simmi Moyer is rich, beautiful, successful, and climbing the executive ladder with tremendous speed. She’s got it all—or does she? Mauritian society shuns her for being single and childless, and nothing she accomplishes will ever be enough.

They meet on a blind date. As afternoon turns into night and then into day, a tempest brews between them, stirred by uncalled-for yearning in their hearts. Meanwhile, outside, a real-life cyclone storms on the island and ensconces them in a world where only the two of them exist.
Thrust together by Nature and Fate, they discover the desire for something more substantial than a fleeting moment of pleasure.

As the hours pass, Lars and Simmi find something neither had even dreamed of finding—a kindred spirit. Can they can put themselves on the line to step out together when the storm clears up?
