Shane and Collin bought a house in Avalon many moons ago when they first got into some big money from their work in Hollywood. Before becoming a chef and fitness model, Shane used to be a top-notch personal trainer. Collin has been riding on his good looks since I can remember, but Shane is a formidable athlete with a background in boxing and martial arts. Thanks to his brother’s connections, he boasted a roster of A-listers as clients. As a result, the Dennison brothers bought one of the least desirable properties on Beacon Street, but it was the only one they could afford. Since owning a home on Catalina Island had always been a dream of theirs, they jumped in with both feet and without hesitation. Eight years and a string of renovations later, their former two-story lowly home is now a sprawling restored three-story estate with a jaw-dropping view. When they first bought this place, it was nearly impossible to get to because the roads around here were so rough, but in time, it’s turned to their advantage because they now own a beautiful secluded home in a coveted part of the island.
The one-hour trip from the coast was so much fun and it was the perfect icebreaker to get to know everybody. Now that we’ve arrived at our destination, the party is in full swing. We’ve already been chatting, eating, drinking and enjoying ourselves for a few hours.
After pigging out on way too much delicious food and giving Miranda a full tour of the house, I suggested we go sit near the beach to enjoy one of the most beautiful views in the world. I went back inside to replenish our drinks and by the time I made my way back, Miranda had fallen asleep on one of the lounge chairs. She looked so peaceful, I didn’t have the heart to wake her up so I’ve been lying here on my side, reclined onto my elbow, wide awake, watching over her. I’m not only soaking in the sight of her, I’m also silently warning off any of the eager male guests who are delusional enough to think they might have a chance with her. There are plenty of other women to drool over. Not Miranda. She’s off-limits.
Suddenly she stretches besides me, folds her elbows under her little body, pulls herself up, readjusts her sunglasses on her nose and turns a sleepy face towards me. “Sorry about that.”
“Don’t be.”
“I woke up so early to prepare everything. I didn’t want to be late. I thought I could manage fine, but I guess I was wrong.”
“You’re a real sweetheart for doing what you did. There’s no point in feeling guilty for dozing off. It’s the perfect day for an afternoon nap,” I reassure her.
“I was dreaming about cooking this five-course extravagant meal in Collin’s spectacular kitchen,” she says, shifting her eyes towards the beach house.
I laugh. “I don’t blame you. It’s pretty badass.”
“The entire house is straight out of an elite decor magazine.
