Synopsis (Goodreads):

Attending the charity masquerade ball was my chance to let loose for one night. And as soon as I see him, I let the handsome stranger show me the hottest night of my life.

Except then I learn he isn’t a stranger.

He’s my new boss.

Tessa
I’m Windward born and bred. I love my family, my town, and my dream job managing my hotel. But now we’ve been bought by Langston Hotels. Cue stress and panic.

I’ll do anything to make sure they don’t ruin the charm and turn my hotel into a slick, modern, soulless shell.

What I wasn’t counting on was jet-setting hotelier Ambrose Langston. Handsome, bossy, with a wide workaholic streak.

It doesn’t take me long to realize he’s also the man I let do very wicked things to me.

Ro
Transforming the Windward Resort is next on my plan. I’m on a mission to make Langston Hotels thrive and rub my father’s face in it.

What I never expected was the locals of Windward being less than happy with my acquisition. And I definitely wasn’t expecting Tessa Ashford.

I’ve always been professional with my employees, unlike my philandering father, but smart, beautiful Tessa—the mysterious woman who rocked my world—makes it a challenge.

Working side by side, all I can think about is her. I never stay. I work, then leave. But she has me questioning everything.
Then the strange “accidents” start happening. Someone doesn’t want me in Windward.

Now, I need to keep Tessa safe from whoever wants me gone.

Thoughts on Night and Day: A new AH series and I'm IN LOVE already. (which isn't unusual when it comes to books by AH, so take that as you will). We briefly met Ro in Beau Fury's book and he was everything I'd expect from someone acquainted with the Fury brothers. In other words, he's smart, driven, and decisive.

To say that Tessa threw Ro for a loop might be an understatement. They shared an anonymous night together at the masquerade ball, they both VERY MUCH liked what the other did, and then Tessa fled the scene because she's not the type who normally engages in semi-public sexcapades. As it turns out, Ro isn't the type either, but Tessa had a moment and left. She only realized it was Ro she got physical with when she saw the mask he was wearing and the reality of what she did came crashing down.

Fortunately for both of them, Ro's not the vindictive type. In fact, he hasn't been able to get the bewitching woman he met at the ball out of his mind. Finding out she was the not-thrilled-with-the-new-owner hotel manager is a shock. But the more time he spends with Tessa, the more he comes to admire her passion for the hotel and her commitment to the community.

So when accidents put Tessa's wellbeing in danger, Ro does whatever he has to do to protect the woman he's starting to catch feelings for.

A group of dedicated hotel employees, a ownership group with some serious workaholic tendencies, a few strange occurrences that escalate quickly, a man who works hard to prove he's not his father, and a lady who is willing to fight for the things that matter to her. *thumbs up* all around.
