Publisher's Summary

Kyle McKallister has lived his life in the shadows. Younger brother to one of the world's most elusive and embattled celebrities, Kyle has carved out a comfortable existence touring with his famous brother and living in the lap of luxury with no commitments or plans of his own, only a deep, haunting loyalty to his brother. But his life is about to be shaken up when the opportunity comes to compete on a popular reality show.

Small town girl Kenzie Williams has come on the show for one thing only: to win. But when a disastrous start forces her to rely on an eclectic band of misfits, she finds herself immediately smitten with a handsome and mysterious cast mate. Life on the island is just a game. Can Kyle and Kenzie's fragile spark survive the pressures of the real world?

Warning! No alpha males were harmed in the making of this novel. While the laid-back, self-deprecating Kyle may someday discover his inner bad boy, he's clearly still in the baby stages of self-discovery. This is the story of an ordinary young man stumbling his way through life and the everyday girl who shows him a better way.

Great story!! 🤩

I loved Kyle and Kenzie’s story! I loved the banter, the constant flirting and their sense of humour. I also loved Kyle’s protectiveness of his brother and those he loves. His perspective and experience in the McCallister family’s tragedy brought depth to the story. A tragedy may happen to one person but it impacts everybody that witnessed, surrounded, lived with and cared for the person that suffered. I didn’t cry as much as when I read Jake’s story but I went through a roller-coaster of emotions; I laughed and cried and experienced every emotion in between while listening to this book.
Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt are just such amazing narrators, you can’t go wrong with these two. Totally worth your credit! 🥰
