Wings
She had every dream--a loving husband, a fabulous life in the South Pacific islands, and Wings , a successful luxury cruise business. Then David died.
She was afraid, and lonely...but she was not the kind of woman who gives up her dreams. Backed by investors in New York and Texas, she created a new Wings --an exclusive worldwide pleasure resort of sex, sun, and games for the rich and famous. Then ruthless power moguls moved to turn her dream empire into an underworld network of drugs and corruption. Unless she could stop them...
A woman alone against men who were out to destroy her, she fought hard to win, to hold on to her dream...and the love of the one man who could share it.

Sorry, but this book got boring real quick.
First, Neal Travis has a problem with jumping scenes and it's really distracting. After every two or three paragraphs, everything ends and we jump to another scene with different character POVs. It's almost like a 332-page soap opera.
Second, if you're going to write a romance about someone rekindling their romantic life after the death of a spouse, then don't make the spouse more likable than the new love interest. Yeah, I really liked David and that's good because I felt bad when he died, but Jill, the MC, chooses another guy who is barely developed. The new guy is so damn corny and he's begging Jill to marry him when she's being stalked and threatened. Dude, Keep it in your pants, she's got other shit to worry about. Can we bring David back to life or something?
Third, I'm in no way a businesswoman, but even I knew the men who approached Jill about expanding her resort were up to some shit. I wouldn't trust those assholes with taking off my coat, but one dude takes her horseback riding, calls her the most beautiful thing in the world, says yes to everything, including shit I'm sure he'd have no control over, and she's all okurrr.
Honestly, I skimmed through the last 75 or so pages because I was hella bored and somehow the book had a war in it (okay, random) and our MC was, surprisingly, pretty chill with being kidnapped and held hostage.
I can't even.
