 Ahh I love going back to Barefoot Bay. 
 This is the first in a novella trilogy featuring billionaire friends and partners. Mandy Mitchell/Lockhart found herself working as a maid at the resort when her husband left her high and dry without a penny to her name. This is a complete change from the high social order she had in high school as Mandy the Magnificent. She wants to start up her own business but has no capital to help move it along. 
 Zeke Nicholas knew and admired Mandy from afar in high school. After all, geeks don't mingle with cheerleaders in those circles back then. Now a mega rich businessman, Zeke is down at Barefoot Bay to help his mother plan a party for his dad. His meddling mother that is, who wants nothing more than grandbabies to bounce on her lap. And she's hoping to catch Zeke a wife at the party by inviting all the single daughters of her acquaintances. Zeke on the other hand, wants nothing to do with it. 
 So when Mandy knocks on his villa, he was surprised to see her and confused why she would be working as a maid. He may not be looking for a wife but his interest and crush from high school come rushing back. And he makes a proposal that might be beneficial to both of them. But Mandy holds a secret that may ruin everything. 
 This was a quick and enjoyable read. Zoe and Jocelyn were mentioned but Lacey made more appearances here. The story and characters were developed quite nicely. Zeke was super sweet and charming and I love his friends. It also sets up the next novella as well. 
 I also liked the mention of Leo who's the hero in Lily Everett's next novella The Fireside Inn. Love seeing the author's support of real life friends.
