Claimed by the Storm by Leola Ryan

Wren Ashby doesn't do rich men. She doesn't do bosses, either — and Damian Voss is both. She's flown to his family's crumbling private island for one reason: restore the resort before its launch gala in three weeks, collect her fee, and never see the infuriating, ice-eyed billionaire again. He didn't want an architect. He wanted the project finished quietly, without a stranger poking through Voss family secrets he's spent a decade burying. Then the storm hits. The last ferry leaves without them. The satellite phones go dark. For six days, it's just the two of them, a locked-down island, and a house full of rooms Wren was never supposed to see. Damian is controlled, commanding, and used to being obeyed — until Wren is the one thing on his island he can't manage. Every clipped order becomes a battle. Every battle becomes something neither of them can name, and then can't stop. He tells himself this is temporary. She tells herself this is a mistake. Neither of them believes it by the third night. But when the storm clears, Wren learns exactly why Damian brought her to this island — and it has nothing to do with architecture. The truth threatens to undo everything they built in the dark, and Damian will have to choose between the empire he's spent his life protecting and the one person who ever made him want to burn it down.
