CAMERON ENDERS seems to have it all: a brand new condo in a city she loves, a top executive position at an international entertainment firm, an insane amount of money, and a gorgeous boyfriend. But when Cami catches the boyfriend in the act with another woman, it triggers all the anguish from years of neglect by her parents, and she realizes she never learned how to love or be loved. Cami flees to the remote tropical island of Tarah, but she can’t avoid facing her problems any longer when she meets the man of her fantasies…

 TRISTAN MICHAELS, one of Hollywood’s hottest new stars, has come to Tarah to ride out a storm. His girlfriend of five years has been caught on camera cheating, and she’s determined to make Tristan stop the story from breaking.

 But Tristan’s done cleaning up her messes. He needs to escape all things Hollywood for a while–and especially the firm that represents him–until the whole thing blows over. What he doesn’t count on is meeting an irresistibly beautiful woman, a woman who just so happens to be the CEO of the firm he’s trying to avoid.

 Can Tristan and Cami help each other learn to trust and love again, or will their histories of betrayal tear them apart? 

Excerpt: 

Waking up around five, I quickly realize that I’m just as flushed and anxious as I was before I laid down. Thank goodness for the iPod. Lord knows I would never have slept without the relaxing melodies.

I have about half an hour before I really need to get moving, so I head to the sitting room. The maids have been through, picked up, cleaned up my lunch, and straightened the sitting room. I also notice some packages sitting on the table. I ordered some clothes from Gucci for tonight’s date before I lay down for my nap; they must have delivered them while I was asleep. I grab my smokes and head out onto the balcony.

The sun is sitting low on the horizon, but the warmth is wonderful on my skin. The beach isn’t as full as it was earlier, but there are still plenty of people milling about, enjoying the sun and the surf. There is a group of about five kids working on what appears to be a huge sandcastle.

The island itself is very small, if islands can be classified as small. From my balcony I can see the ocean on three of the four sides. There are lush tropical trees, and you can hear some of the birds from up here. The ocean water is crystal clear blue. Warm and inviting. Tomorrow I intend to spend the day on the beach, in the water. It’s about time I got a damned tan. I laugh out loud.

“What’s so funny?” I recognize the voice, but still it makes me jump.

“I…um, was thinking about how bad I need a tan.” I turn and look into my suite. It’s empty. “What the hell?”

“Look up, beautiful,” he says. His voice is soft, sweet, and inviting.

I look up and, sure enough, leaning over the edge of…what is he leaning on? “Are you in the pool?”

He laughs. “I am. Want to join me?” He wiggles his eyebrows in a very suggestive manner. His smile is inviting and seductive.

Trying to catch my breath before speaking, I look at him a moment. “I would, but I have this date with this totally hot, amazing guy that deserves everything I can throw at him – hair, nails, makeup, the whole nine yards – so I should start getting ready.” I smile as sweetly as I can manage without giving away my teasing tones.

“Lucky guy!” he mumbles.

“I think I am the lucky one.”    

Zoey’s Favorite Quotes From Finding Love’s Wings:

“I need someone who has holes in their head that fit all the rocks in mine.” Cami. 

I love this quote for two reasons, one being that it explains what Cami wants, and 2, I borrowed it from a friend of mine. It became a favorite quote and was quickly added to the book.

“”Bloody hell! How exactly am I supposed to drink this? It seems like a damn waste.”” Cami 

This quote always makes me giggle, out of context it might seem strange, while Cami loves to drink extravagant drinks, she’s finally met her match when Tristan buy her a drink for the first time.

“Holy crap, not only has Tristan Michaels bought me a drink, but he is standing on the beach, not fifty yards in front of me, half naked and tattooed.” Cami. 

When the man of her dreams becomes a real life person in front of her very eyes, is why I LOVE this quote.

““I trust you,” she whispers and looks deep into my eyes, into my soul. Her expression reiterates the words she’s just spoken.” 

Tristan. I love this because it is the moment everything shifts for Tristan and how he feels about Cami.  

“”I was having fun with that,” I mutter.

He lowers himself to his knees. “I know. But now it’s my turn.”” Cami –

You’ll have to read Finding Love’s Wings to figure out why this is my favorite quote.

Cameron, in Five Words :

Fiery, Intense, Unique, Sexy, Nympho. Cami is a fiery pocket rocket. She stands at all of 5’4” in height but her can be intense enough to make you wake up and pay attention. She is unique in that she isn’t your typical heroine is rolls over at everything, she’s a fighter who is also sexy and is insatiable. Especially when it comes to Tristan.   

Tristan, in Five Words: 

Smart, Sensitive, firm, Tattooed, pierced. Tristan is extremely smart, sensitive to not only himself but those around him. He sticks firm to anything he wants and changing his mind is not something easily done. He has Tattoos and **clears throat** piercings… down there….
