The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Janet came back to consciousness to the sound of the ceaseless thunderous claps of the surf against the rocks.

She opened her eyes again and looked at the sea. The rain had eased up completely but the sky was still an ominous gloomy grey. She had no idea of how long she had been there.
