Before buying this I checked all the reviews as I wasn't blown away by the first book I read (A Perfect Fit (DiCarlo Brides Book 1) (The DiCarlo Brides)) but was intrigued enough by the glimpses of this story to buy it. Unfortunately there wasn't a summary only a mention of a smallish error.***Spoilers***So basically we know that the h is the second legitimate daughter of the Di Carlo father and is the manager of the new resort recently opened. Her boss is the H, whom she secretly married the year before but is estranged from him. At the opening of this book we discover that she slept with him on the night of the opening and is now pregnant. Prior to this incident she'd been pushing him for a divorce because she thought he was cheating on her. The h has huge trust issues because her father had regularly cheated on her mother and she has 4 illegitimate sisters as a result of his various affairs. She has been living with her half-sisters as a condition of her late father's will, as well as working with them at the resort.The H is still very much in love with the h and is trying to get her to give their marriage another chance. When he finds out about her pregnancy, he is more determined than ever. There is a sub-plot about a 'ghost' story that was more of a distraction for me than anything else but it did end up impacting on the relationship with the H and h.My problem with the book is that the supposed cheating by the H was never more than a leap of stupidity on the h's part. There was no proof besides her seeing him with another woman in public. She was never prepared to talk to him about it. I hated that the H never tried to sort things out and left her alone for months until he came to oversee the resort where she is the manager. He had his own insecurities but it made him a bit weak in my eyes.There are definitely better books out there.
