The Billionaire's Teacher
One of the things I've been looking forward to since opening my scuba shop is leading groups to dive in all the amazing spots around the globe. The Galapagos and Great Barrier Reef are calling. First things first, though. I figure we'll start off with the Caribbean. Which is why I'm headed down to spend some time scouting resorts and dive spots on the various islands. I've chartered a yacht, complete with a captain who, I'm told, knows everything there is to know about diving down here. Of course, when I booked the trip, I pictured a grizzled old pirate at the wheel. What else was I supposed to imagine when I was told their name was "Sonny"? Imagine my surprise when I get to the dock and the captain is definitely not a man. Sunny-short for Sunshine-is the best there is. And she's got at least ten years on me, so it's not like there can be anything romantic. Older women have never been my vibe. So I'll spend the time with her, alone on the boat, and soak up all the things she has to teach me. And do everything in my power to ignore just how good she looks while she does it. It's only three weeks. What can go wrong? The Billionaire's Teacher is an age-gap, older woman, stranded together contemporary Christian romance.
