Synopsis
JUST RELEASED! Welcome to Darkaway Island: A destination resort for supernaturals. Where monsters come to play! Daphne Dupree needed to get out of town after things at work got a little…complicated. The last thing she expected when she filled out a silly online quiz was winning a singles trip to paradise. Too good to be true? Probably. Turns out, Darkaway Island is more than a little strange. People in costumes. Large dogs running around unleashed. But the weirdest of all is that she seems to be part of a…dating contest. The prize: a smoking-hot cowboy with an unhealthy fixation on the moon. Travis Monroe wasn’t planning to stay long on the island. As the grumpy werewolf star of a supernatural soap opera, all he wants is to give his newly-inherited ranch to his sister then fly back to the set on his private plane. Trouble is, if he isn’t mated by the White Wolf Moon, the ranch reverts to a half-brother he just met, and his sister loses everything. Solution: Find a mate, sign over the property, break up. Falling in love isn’t in the script. As Travis and Daphne spend time together on group dates and one-on-ones, his feelings for her grow, extending far beyond duty to his family. And she learns he’s more—much more—than just fangs and fur. But a rival pack is stirring up trouble, and Daphne is hiding a secret of her own. Do Travis and Daphne find love in paradise only to lose it in the end?
