Falling for Summer

Falling in love is easy. Finding the right guy to spend happily ever after with... that's the hard part. But I have a foolproof plan. I'm taking the tropes that work in romance books and applying them to my love life. Only one bed? Never fails. Caring for someone when they're sick? A classic. "Who did this to you?" Seals the deal every single time. So long, loneliness. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. But the more I try to force romance, the more feelings naturally progress with the one man who's off limits: Walker Collins, the guy I've had a secret crush on since 7th grade, not to mention my best friend's older brother. Dating Walker crosses BFF lines I swore I'd never cross. Plus, he hates Sunset Harbor, and his pro golf career will take him off the island as fast as he came, sending me back to the land of singlehood, loneliness, and broken hearts. At the end of the day, I don't want to be the fool in my foolproof plan. ◆ Summer Ever After brings all the sizzle and chemistry without the explicit scenes and language. It's the perfect romcom to make you laugh and fall in love.

He has it all, except the one thing money can't buy: her heart. When Cat Keene finds a medical bill with the horrendous words final notice stamped across the front, she learns two things: first, her uncle/the man who raised her is keeping things from her for the first time in her life. Second, they need money-and fast-or they'll lose the only thing she has left of her parents: the bed & breakfast she runs with him. Noah Belacourt is a billionaire with a newly acquired anxiety diagnosis and a one-way ticket to Sunset Harbor for the summer, courtesy of his company's board of directors. Being on the island he grew up on for a forced sabbatical has a major perk when he runs into the girl he's harbored a crush on since they were teens. She's still the same old Cat, except now she's in some major financial trouble. Noah wants to help her, but Cat is stubborn. She holds onto past biases about his family and takes some convincing. When Cat agrees to work as Noah's personal assistant for the summer, she doesn't realize she's signing up for a lot more than debt relief. Some of her preconceived notions about the Belacourt family begin to feel wrong. Noah proves that not all first impressions are reliable, forcing Cat to face the past-and to hope that things will end up just peachy keen after all. Because the alternative is losing everything that matters to her, and she is not about to let that happen. Beachy Keen is a sweet romantic comedy with a billionaire, a longtime secret crush, and boss & employee dynamic.

It was just one date. My friend told me I needed more fun in my life, so I reluctantly said yes. Fun wasn't exactly in my wheelhouse. After watching my own mother's love life implode time and time again, it's only natural that I have a few rules to protect myself. Actually, it's just one rule... Avoid relationships with men so I don't get attached. I wasn't worried. Getting attached has never been a problem for me. This guy was just a warm body in a chair. I was here for the basketball game. I was absolutely NOT here for my date. Or the kiss cam. Or the kiss. Or the impromptu evening with the one man who seems bent on throwing my tidy world off its axis. But when my life takes a nose dive, he's also the man who seems bent on proving to me that good men do exist, dreams can come true, and sometimes throwing out the rule book is when the magic really starts to happen.

The book is always better than the movie. But occasionally, life is better than the book. Ten years ago I made a mortifying, life-altering mistake. Now, this once seemingly insignificant choice is threatening to wreck my entire existence. And possibly throw Tristan Palmer-my next-door-neighbor and the guy I've had a secret crush on for the entirety of my life-into the fray unaware. The mistake? I am Sunny Palmer. As in the anonymous, best-selling author of over a dozen beloved romances and renowned thief of Tristan's last name. Okay, not renowned yet, thank the high heavens! But that news will spread like wildfire if people discover that this introverted book nerd is the woman behind the pen name. And the fact that my first book, Secret Crush, is Tristan's and my fictionalized love story leaves zero room for calling it anything but what it is-a travesty of greatest proportions. That's why NO ONE can know! Ever! So it's wretched luck that when I finally visit Sunset Harbor, the small-town island where I grew up, I run into the still heart-stopping, book-boyfriend-worthy man himself. And shockingly, Tristan seems intent on reminding me what the island has to offer. Because that's what friends do. Logic demands I resist his charm and guard my secret at all costs, which is why it's vastly unfortunate that Tristan Palmer was and always will be ... my greatest weakness. Plotting Summer is a small-town island romantic comedy with the perfect amount of swoon and none of the explicit scenes or language. Read the rest of the Falling for Summer series-seven standalone romances with interconnected characters, all falling in love in Sunset Harbor.

Falling for Beau Palmer would be the ultimate crime Wild horses couldn't drag me back to the small island where I grew up, but you know what can? Making sure the Palmer family-aka the worst neighbors ever-show appropriate respect to the newest resident of their retirement center: my grandma. But as soon as Grams moves in, her shenanigans put her at risk of being kicked out. Since she's set on staying in Sunset Harbor until her last breath and there's no way I'm staying on this nightmare island to take care of her, that's not an option. Enter Beau Palmer, the infuriatingly charming local cop who's got the connections to keep Grams right where she needs to be and help me get out of Dodge sooner. But he's got a price, and it requires putting the Sawyer/Palmer drama firmly in the past. But the drama isn't behind us. In fact, it's right in front of me, wearing a police badge and a smirk that's really started disturbing my peace.
