SHE'S A RUNAWAY BRIDE.
On the eve of her fairytale wedding, award-winning broadcast journalist Riley St. James flees her fiancé and escapes alone to Bora Bora. She expects a secluded respite-until she goes viral as #RileyOnTheRun and a handsome stranger rescues her from a small swarm of overzealous admirers.
HE'S CLIMBING THE CORPORATE LADDER.
After a decade of paying his dues in the hotel industry to escape the shadow of his family's business, Gabriel Laurent is one step away from an executive corner office. But just before he starts his last assignment in Bora Bora, he manages to dodge his father's disastrous maneuvers only to get sidetracked by the sudden-and very public-arrival of Riley St. James.
RUNNING AND CLIMBING CAN LEAD TO FALLING
Sequestered away from the real world, they indulge in a forbidden entanglement. They slow down and open up over authentic island cuisine and cocktails, stolen moments beneath starlit nights, and suggestive playlists. She's a guest at his hotel and they're breaking all the rules-all on borrowed time. But their pause morphs into a rewind as the past invades their present, and the consequences of their secret forces Riley to face what frightens her most and threatens to upend Gabriel's carefully crafted existence.
