She needs some time alone. He needs to get away.

Dominique can't decide what she wants. After a few rough years, she just needs a break from it all. When her bestie invites her on an all-expenses paid trip, it's an offer she can't pass up. But when she bumps into the tall, tattooed, man-bun-wearing hottie who steals her book, she realizes life isn't done messing with her yet.

Jesse wants some fun, sun and time away. His job is stale, the winter's getting to him and his crazy ex is becoming a stalker. A free trip down south with his brother-from-another-mother is just the cure for his blues. So, when the tiny, feisty, and oh-so grumpy girl from the airport gives him the cold shoulder, it stokes more than his irritation.

One week.
One villa.
One island.
Two people who can't bear to be around each other… Or can they?

Mimi Flood delivers a steamy frenemies-to-lovers forced proximity romance with laughs, sizzling banter and an ooey-gooey ending in this first-part of the With or Without You duet.
