Meet Skye Fraser, a talented pastry chef with a sweet tooth as insatiable as her spirit. Seth, the rugged owner of Adam's Towing, is a skilled veteran whose tough exterior hides a desire for something sweeter.

SKYE:

Skye Fraser's life revolves around pies—sweet, savory, and everything in between. But beneath the flour and fillings at Skye High Pies, she yearns for more. With each car breakdown, her connection with Seth, the smokin' hot owner of Adam's Towing, grows stronger. Is there more to their connection than mere vehicle rescues, and is she about to bite off more than she can chew? Something that's spicy as hell and bound her have her aflame?

SETH:

Running a one-man towing business has its perks, especially when it involves saving Skye Fraser and her perpetually troublesome car. She's a delightful menace, and each rescue mission draws Seth closer. Can rescuing her save him from a haunting past in the military? Skye's fiery spirit might just be the key to unlocking his long-protected heart.

She's an accountant who likes order. He's a bounty hunter for whom life is chaotic and dangerous. Can opposites attract when his world comes knocking on her door?

JOSIE

I've always craved balance in my life, so training to be an accountant and joining the family business, was a no-brainer. It's safe, secure and there are never any surprises. That's just how I like it.

On leaving the office Friday night, I never could have imagined that someone like Chase Hunter would end up dominating my weekend and potentially my life.

Sure I've seen him from afar, and maybe even drooled over him, but finding all six-foot-three of him in my backyard, and missing a shirt, is a different story. A story I find myself longing to read, slowly and thoroughly.

CHASE

Chase Hunter, bounty hunter, and yeah, I've heard ALL the jokes, so don't bother. I prefer to call myself a bail enforcement agent, rather than model myself on some long haired reality star. Sure, I like to get my man and the reward as much as my famous counterparts; I just do it with less bravado.

It's this drive to succeed that has me chasing a felon through half a dozen backyards on a Friday night. It's when the creep breaks into a house that things really get interesting. Sure, I catch the guy, but I also find Josie Robinson. And what a find. Could she be the woman I've been searching for all along?

Welcome to Coogan's Break the Northern Californian beach community where the girls love their curves and the guys are hotter than hell. Where love is hot and fast, where opposites attract, and where you'll find sexy times aplenty. And all with guaranteed HEAs, no cheating, and no cliffhangers.

She's all about body positivity, refusing to hide her curves any longer. He's all about hiding from the world, his past, and especially his future.

MANDY

I'm the queen of voice-over, something that often finds me locked in a sound-proof room. I'm sure it's where smoking hot but grumpy, Logan Young would prefer I stay.

But, I'm burning to show him the error of his ways, plus a few other things, meaning this songbird is about to break the bars on her self-imposed cage and fly the coop. I'm about to be confronted as never before, and by someone I didn't see coming; especially not, when I was naked.

LOGAN

I like my own company all while protecting the forest, people's homes, and even myself. I'm starting to think that where my body is concerned Mandy Gibson, might be a bigger threat than fire.

I prefer to keep away from the world, with any amount of solitude better than having my heart ripped out of my chest and stomped on again. Unfortunately, fate and an intimate glade in the forest, have other ideas, tempting me as never before.

She's never gotten over that first love, instead devoting herself to her business. Meanwhile, his career is over, although not through any fault of his own.

BRIDGET

I've always had green thumbs, to the point I've now made a business out of it. The only thing I don't seem to be able to nurture, is love. It wasn't always this way. Back in high school I'd had my pick of the boys, although there'd only ever been one for me, Jason Adams.

Sadly he chose the army over us, something I've never forgiven him for. On bumping into him again after all these years, the wounds are as fresh as day.

JASON

I've been trained to hurt, but those days are over for me. Budget cuts have me leaving the army sooner than I'd have liked, sooner than I'd have thought possible. Growing up an army brat, it was a given I'd enlist, and yet my baby brother beat me to it.

Okay, so baby is a misnomer with Seth only the baby by half-an-hour and half-an-inch. It didn't matter that I was in love at the time; it had been my duty to protect him. I guess we all make mistakes, right?

She needs a lucky break if she's making ends meet. He's stuck running one of the family's smaller hotel casinos. Could pretending to be engaged be a gamble that pays off for both of them?

DONNA

Fleeing San Francisco for Coogan's Break was so much easier than dealing with things that went bump in the middle of the night. Usually Bryan—my ex—drunk and attempting to break in.

Three months later and I'm in a dead-end job for a guy who pays below minimum wage, and who thinks state taxes are optional. I'm also short on my latest rent payment.

Entering the casino at Maddigan's Resort and Spa, I'm hoping for a small payout. But could the gorgeous Liam Maddigan prove himself my ultimate jackpot?

LIAM

I know why I'm stuck in Coogan's Break. It's because dad wants me to abandon the playboy lifestyle and settle down. He might have mentioned grandchildren.

I've been here two months already, and it's killing me. The thought of spending the summer in small town California has me cursing his name until I spot her.

The way Donna Wilder has herself perched on that bar stool does it for me. Could it be life is about to get interesting AND I can keep the old man off my back?

She's a librarian who loves steamy romances. He's a surfer who likes it wet and wild. Will these two finally get it on when their long-held desires bubble to the surface?

CHLOE

I'm a bookworm, which sees me working at the local library to feed my addiction. Little did I know my life as a librarian was about to be interrupted by something hotter than any of the steamy novels to hand.

But it's true. Blake Mitchell, my dream guy, is back in town and apparently determined to give me my own wet and wild chapter.

BLAKE

I've always loved my life on the road, of chasing the surf, and being free. Of late, though, I've been longing for something more permanent, a home of my own.

But they say home is where the heart is, and there's only one heart I'm interested in. But, thanks to my Ã¢â‚¬Ëœhere today, gone tomorrow' reputation, my chances of attracting Chloe Henderson's affections are zero.

And then she shows me the error of my ways, as well as her gorgeous curves, and all is right with my world.

She's hiding out at the crumbling mansion she's inherited from her great aunt. After taking the fall for a crime he didn't commit, he's decided the view from a prison cell isn't to his liking. Will this pair escape together?

LINDSEY

The reviews of my last novel went from blah to downright vicious. Brutal enough that I'm holed up at Eagle's Nest to lick my wounds and make sure my next book has the critics choking on their words.

It doesn't take long to realize the place is a dump. Fortunately, the spectacular views help soften this blow. Best of all is the view of Ethan Hunter making use of the outdoor bathtub.

The guy has bad-boy written all over him, mainly in ink. He's not the sort I'd usually go for, and yet here I am salivating over his naked form. He does it for me in a big way, and I wish he would.

ETHAN

Coogan's Break, the scene of many a youthful escapade, and some downright stupid crap I should never have got involved in. It's those indiscretions that have me back in town, after a good long time away.

I've got one shot to clear my name if only for the sake of my grandfather, and that means playing with fire. Little could I know I was about to get burnt in the best way possible.

When Lindsey Abbott storms out of the bushes and grabs my clothes, I'm glad the water is cold enough to quell my response. I don't need this—make that her—in my life right now.

She's a lawyer who is questioning the toll her career is taking. He's already faced the consequences of an all-consuming profession. Will these two learn that love beats work any day?

ANGIE

I'm being eaten alive by a career that's consumed me for years, when I suddenly find myself on administrative leave. Unless I rediscover my killer instincts in the courtroom, I'm out of there.

When asked to house-sit by a fellow lawyer, I don't give it a second's thought. So what if I don't have a clue where Coogan's Break is? Anything is better than staring at the walls of my apartment.

On my second visit to Dynamic Five Dance, any thoughts of my job back in the city flee. The last time I saw Drew Morton-Huxley was at his final performance with Manhattan Modern Dance.

His dancing was the hottest thing I'd ever seen, leaving me squirming in my seat. The way he's looking at me now and I wonder if I'm about to discover if he's as good in the flesh as he had been on stage.

DREW

It has taken years, but I've finally accepted my life as a dancer is over. If I was a racehorse, they would have shot me that night.

I haven't left that world behind completely, deciding that if I can no longer dance, I should pay my dues by helping those who still can, or at least want to.

While my dance school pays the bills, it doesn't light my fire as performing used to. All that changes the second I spot Angela Bennington out in reception.

Womanly curves coupled with a body that moves like silk and I'm burning to dance with her. I'll need to move fast though, if I'm to beat Juan Alcaraz, my teacher of Latin American, to it.

She's a doggy daycare owner who's being run ragged by her charges. He's a personal trainer who loves a challenge. It's anyone's guess who'll be the first to lie down and roll over when they get together.

BETTANY

I can't ignore the ache in my knees any longer. Then my Doctor says Ã¢â‚¬Ëœabsolutely not' to my request for cortisone injections. Nope, she's got something far more painful in mind.

I know she's right with her advice, but this won't make it any easier to swallow. I'm complaining bitterly right up until the point I see who'll be administering her particular brand of medicine.

Dax Nichols is a polar opposite of me. Even Stella, his Staffordshire Bull Terrier, carries more muscle than I do. Does this mean he'll go easy on me? According to him, that'd be a big fat NO.

We haven't even started our first training session when my heart rate is already through the roof. That man without a shirt on is enough to burn calories all on its own. I hope he knows mouth-to-mouth.

DAX

When my big sister says she's recommended me as a personal trainer, I'm annoyed. I've got enough on my plate getting my latest fitness app over the line. That's when I see my new client.

I live in a world where muscle is king. Meanwhile, Bettany Brooks is curvy and all the more gorgeous for it. What was my sister thinking? I wouldn't change a thing about this woman; she's perfect as she is.

But, on hearing the challenges of her day and seeing her grimace in pain as we walk along the boardwalk at Coogan's, I know I can help. And all without sacrificing that stunning figure of hers.

I've got a month to prove she won't end up looking like Schwarzenegger, and that I'm the right man for her. With pup Stella at my side, how can I fail?

She's a plus-size model who's in danger of having her career and life derailed. He's in the business of making sure people play nice, whether they want to, or not.

PHOEBE

I should be out celebrating making the cover of Sports Fan Magazine, and in a bikini, no less. Instead, I'm hiding out in my hotel room, jumping at the slightest sound.

It hasn't always been this way, but with fame, came the crazies. Men who think I'm destined to be theirs, even if this would see us living in their mom's basement.

Wyatt Cassidy, Head of Security at Maddigan's, is anything but crazy. He's tough, he's hot, and he's confident, especially about his ability to keep me safe. But for him to do that, I'll have to leave my room.

The questions I'm facing now are, do I trust him enough to follow him through that steel door at the back of the hotel's underground car park? And do I trust myself to keep my hands off him?

WYATT

When my boss at Maddigan's Resort and Spa says he has a special assignment for me, he isn't kidding. However, she's more than special. She's perfect. Perfect for me, that is.

Before meeting Phoebe Jackson, I think she's just out for attention when she says she's in danger. That's until I see the guy skulking outside her room, the one who takes off when he spots me.

I've been Head of Security at the hotel for too long to ignore the warning signs, and on showing Phoebe a screen-grab from the security camera, she confirms my suspicions. Apparently, the guy's backed her into a corner more than once, and he frightens her.

Experience also tells me I can't keep her safe in a hotel the size of Maddigan's. For that, we have to disappear. And if this sees us in self-imposed lock-down until he's stopped, I'm sure I can think of one or two things to keep us occupied.

She loves everything about Christmas. He's more bah humbug about the season. Will sparks fly when the elf in charge of illuminations and the electrician connect?

NATASHA

I love Christmas in California. I love the fake snow, the eggnog, the music, but I especially love the lights. The more the merrier being my mantra with illuminations. This year I might have gone a teensy bit overboard. I think it was life-sized reindeer that pushed me over the edge.

Lucian Davis sure as heck isn't happy about my design choice, mind you, he's never happy. Nope, he's grumpy with a capital G. It's a good thing he's also G for gorgeous. However, on stepping in to help me with my reindeer issue, he's way beyond grumpy, he's furious.

I don't get the appeal. To me, Christmas is just another day, one where I'll get more call-outs than usual. What is it about folks overloading their electrical panels at this time of year? One house last year had enough lights that it would have been visible from space, if not for them blowing all the fuses.

On seeing Natasha Frank skating around on the roof of the Coogan's Break Welcome Center, I come close to blowing a fuse of my own. This is thanks to her elf costume highlighting all her good bits—and trust me, I'd know—and her about to hurt herself if I don't step in.

She spends her days designing and making jewelry. He also makes things, although he's happier with wood. Are they destined to build a life together, or will his past get in their way?

MACIE

I've always loved sparkly things, being a bit of a magpie when I was a kid. Hours spent combing the sand, looking for beach glass, each discovery more exciting than the last. If I was as lucky at finding love as I am, the opaque beauties that litter the beach after a storm, my life would be perfect.

Then life hits me with my very own storm. The first time I see Brad McKenna he's out cold and naked thanks to my backhanding him with a tennis racket. What can I say? I thought he was a burglar. I also think he's as hard and gorgeous as any beach glass I've collected.

BRAD

By heading west, I had hoped to leave my old life behind, and I would have but for an appalling twist of fate. Having done my time, I should have been free to get on with my life, but my old crew has other ideas. Ideas that will leave me in danger of going back inside, something I want to avoid at all costs.

The one thing in my new life that I don't want to avoid is Macie Hart, having fallen for her even before she introduced me to her vintage Slazenger. There's something about her that has me thinking I can be a better man, an honest one, one able to leave his past behind for good.

Will taking on a fixer-upper also rebuild her life, or will she make a mess of this, too? She's having doubts when she's confronted by a six-pack and hardware hot enough to scorch. Will having this guy on hand finally put an end to her DIY love life?

LILY:

Buying the fixer-upper was one of many spur-of-the-moment decisions, but unlike my others, this one seemed wise. That was until I found myself waist-deep in the hallway floorboards. Enter Tyler Pierce—hotter than hot and ready to lend a hand. Okay, so it didn't hurt that his junk was at eye level when I first laid eyes on him.

TYLER:

When my boss handed me another charity case, I wasn't expecting much. But when I hammered on the front door of that run-down house, I was knocked senseless by Lily Finnegan, the dark-haired beauty inside. There's something irresistible about a woman who knows her way around tools, especially mine.

She's furious about being trapped in Coogan's Break, away from the bustle of her corporate life in LA. Meanwhile, he loves the beachside community, happy in his job and his single life. Might they both be about to experience a sea change?

KELLY

I know exactly who to blame for my current predicament. Jason Ralph, the no-talent, Aussie, Executive Creative Director at the ad agency I work for. He's had it in for me from the first day he hung that stupid boomerang on the wall of his corner office and I had the temerity to laugh and call him Cobber.

My parents then throw my life further into turmoil when they go ahead with the renovation of the family vacation home, where I've been stuck for lock-down. However, it's being suckered into working on a 4th of July float that has me joined at the hip to that cocky player, Zac Thomas.

ZAC

The only reason I signed up to work on that float was because I knew it would give me a chance to get to know Kelly Sanderson intimately. I know it's a long-shot, with her having seen through every other move I'd made. It's as if the woman is psychic where I was concerned.

And then she has to design a float that will put the space shuttle to shame, being as it's almost as big. As we race to complete it on time, something strange happens. No longer am I out for a good time. Instead, I want to stick around for a long time.

Her working life is a vibrant tapestry of color and fragrance, with the flowers that surround her a source of endless joy. In stark contrast, his world is an uninspiring blur of gray and shadow that leaves him unable to see the beauty in everyday life.

DAISY

When I'd first heard how much my landlord was hiking the rent on the building that housed my florist shop, I'd been furious. Angry enough to tell him what he could do with his lease. In hindsight, it wasn't my finest moment. However, fate had a surprise in store for me—the bargain of a lifetime.

I'm waiting next to the front door of my new premises when the team from Lucky Break Construction arrives. On taking in the building industry's answer to Chippendales, my eyes widen. Could this be the turning point I've been hoping for? When Josh Kendrick finally arrives, I know it is.

JOSH

Once again, I'm running late. It's not my fault I have trouble reading the traffic lights. I'm fine if I take my time, but hurry and I'm as likely to run a red light and kill someone. All thoughts of having an accident crash and burn when I first lay eyes on Daisy Green.

It's a different matter when I take in the ramshackle building before us. While heavy with the detail beloved by the Victorians, to my eyes, it's also a monotonous sea of gray. Fortunately, with Daisy by my side, the future is looking bright.

Will restoring a family legacy uncover buried treasure, deadly secrets, or unexpected love? One thing is for sure, from the moment Amelia met Malakai, escape was the last thing on her mind.

AMELIA

The old Donovan Warehouse has been rotting in my family for generations, but I finally have the vision and guts to restore it. That was before the sabotage started, the threats escalated, and I realized someone would kill to keep me from renovating. Enter Malakai Torres—mysterious, dangerous, and packing enough heat to make my renovation plans look simple by comparison.

MALAKAI

When the Lucky Break Construction team took on Amelia Donovan's warehouse project, I expected the usual. Structural issues, budget overruns, maybe some permit headaches. What I hadn't planned on was protecting a gorgeous architect from a decades-old conspiracy. And I definitely didn't expect to fall for a woman who could make me want to stop running and start building something real.

Join Amelia and Malakai as they uncover buried secrets, dodge dynamite, and discover that some family legacies are worth fighting for. Especially when they come with a love that could last forever.

She’s an accountant who likes order. He’s a bounty hunter for whom life is chaotic and dangerous. Can opposites attract when his world comes knocking on her door?

JOSIE

I’ve always craved balance in my life, so training to be an accountant and joining the family business, was a no-brainer. It’s safe, secure and there are never any surprises. That’s just how I like it. On leaving the office Friday night, I never could have imagined that someone like Chase Hunter would end up dominating my weekend and potentially my life.

Sure I’ve seen him from afar, and maybe even drooled over him, but finding all six-foot-three of him in my backyard, and missing a shirt, is a different story. A story I find myself longing to read, slowly and thoroughly.

CHASE

Chase Hunter, bounty hunter, and yeah, I’ve heard ALL the jokes, so don’t bother. I prefer to call myself a bail enforcement agent, rather than model myself on some long haired reality star. Sure, I like to get my man and the reward as much as my famous counterparts; I just do it with less bravado.

It’s this drive to succeed that has me chasing a felon through half a dozen backyards on a Friday night. It's when the creep breaks into a house that things really get interesting. Sure, I catch the guy, but I also find Josie Robinson. And what a find. Could she be the woman I've been searching for all along?

She’s all about body positivity, refusing to hide her curves any longer. He’s all about hiding from the world, his past, and especially his future.

MANDY

I’m the queen of voice-over, something that often finds me locked in a sound-proof room. I’m sure it’s where smoking hot but grumpy, Logan Young would prefer I stay.

But, I’m burning to show him the error of his ways, plus a few other things, meaning this songbird is about to break the bars on her self-imposed cage and fly the coop. I’m about to be confronted as never before, and by someone I didn’t see coming; especially not, when I was naked.

LOGAN

I like my own company all while protecting the forest, people’s homes, and even myself. I’m starting to think that where my body is concerned Mandy Gibson, might be a bigger threat than fire.

She’s never gotten over that first love, instead devoting herself to her business. Meanwhile, his career is over, although not through any fault of his own.

BRIDGET

I’ve always had green thumbs, to the point I’ve now made a business out of it. The only thing I don’t seem to be able to nurture, is love.

It wasn’t always this way. Back in high school I’d had my pick of the boys, although there’d only ever been one for me, Jason Adams. Sadly he chose the army over us, something I’ve never forgiven him for. On bumping into him again after all these years, the wounds are as fresh as day.

JASON

I’ve been trained to hurt, but those days are over for me. Budget cuts have me leaving the army sooner than I'd have liked, sooner than I'd have thought possible.

Growing up an army brat, it was a given I’d enlist, and yet my baby brother beat me to it. Okay, so baby is a misnomer with Seth only the baby by half-an-hour and half-an-inch. It didn’t matter that I was in love at the time; it had been my duty to protect him. I guess we all make mistakes, right?

She needs a lucky break if she’s making ends meet. He’s stuck running one of the family’s smaller hotel casinos. Could pretending to be engaged be a gamble that pays off for both of them?

DONNA

Fleeing San Francisco for Coogan’s Break was so much easier than dealing with things that went bump in the middle of the night. Usually Bryan—my ex—drunk and attempting to break in.

Three months later and I’m in a dead-end job for a guy who pays below minimum wage, and who thinks state taxes are optional. I’m also short on my latest rent payment.

Entering the casino at Maddigan’s Resort and Spa, I'm hoping for a small payout. But could the gorgeous Liam Maddigan prove himself my ultimate jackpot?

LIAM

I know why I’m stuck in Coogan’s Break. It’s because dad wants me to abandon the playboy lifestyle and settle down. He might have mentioned grandchildren.

I’ve been here two months already, and it’s killing me. The thought of spending the summer in small town California has me cursing his name until I spot her.

The way Donna Wilder has herself perched on that bar stool does it for me. Could it be life is about to get interesting AND I can keep the old man off my back?

She’s a librarian who loves steamy romances. He’s a surfer who likes it wet and wild. Will these two finally get it on when their long-held desires bubble to the surface?

CHLOE

I’m a bookworm, which sees me working at the local library to feed my addiction. Little did I know my life as a librarian was about to be interrupted by something hotter than any of the steamy novels to hand.

But it’s true. Blake Mitchell, my dream guy, is back in town and apparently determined to give me my own wet and wild chapter.

BLAKE

I’ve always loved my life on the road, of chasing the surf, and being free. Of late, though, I’ve been longing for something more permanent, a home of my own.

But they say home is where the heart is, and there’s only one heart I’m interested in. But, thanks to my ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ reputation, my chances of attracting Chloe Henderson’s affections are zero.

And then she shows me the error of my ways, as well as her gorgeous curves, and all is right with my world.

She’s hiding out at the crumbling mansion she’s inherited from her great aunt. After taking the fall for a crime he didn't commit, he’s decided the view from a prison cell isn’t to his liking. Will this pair escape together?

LINDSEY

The reviews of my last novel went from blah to downright vicious. Brutal enough that I’m holed up at Eagle’s Nest to lick my wounds and make sure my next book has the critics choking on their words.

It doesn’t take long to realize the place is a dump. Fortunately, the spectacular views help soften this blow. Best of all is the view of Ethan Hunter making use of the outdoor bathtub.

The guy has bad-boy written all over him, mainly in ink. He’s not the sort I’d usually go for, and yet here I am salivating over his naked form. He does it for me in a big way, and I wish he would.

ETHAN

Coogan’s Break, the scene of many a youthful escapade, and some downright stupid crap I should never have got involved in. It’s those indiscretions that have me back in town, after a good long time away.

I’ve got one shot to clear my name if only for the sake of my grandfather, and that means playing with fire. Little could I know I was about to get burnt in the best way possible.

When Lindsey Abbott storms out of the bushes and grabs my clothes, I’m glad the water is cold enough to quell my response. I don’t need this—make that her—in my life right now.

She’s a lawyer who is questioning the toll her career is taking. He’s already faced the consequences of an all-consuming profession. Will these two learn that love beats work any day?

ANGIE

I’m being eaten alive by a career that’s consumed me for years, when I suddenly find myself on administrative leave. Unless I rediscover my killer instincts in the courtroom, I’m out of there. When asked to house-sit by a fellow lawyer, I don’t give it a second’s thought. So what if I don’t have a clue where Coogan’s Break is? Anything is better than staring at the walls of my apartment.

On my second visit to Dynamic Five Dance, any thoughts of my job back in the city flee. The last time I saw Drew Morton-Huxley was at his final performance with Manhattan Modern Dance. His dancing was the hottest thing I’d ever seen, leaving me squirming in my seat. The way he’s looking at me now and I wonder if I’m about to discover if he’s as good in the flesh as he had been on stage.

DREW

It has taken years, but I’ve finally accepted my life as a dancer is over. If I was a racehorse, they would have shot me that night. I haven’t left that world behind completely, deciding that if I can no longer dance, I should pay my dues by helping those who still can, or at least want to.

While my dance school pays the bills, it doesn’t light my fire as performing used to. All that changes the second I spot Angela Bennington out in reception. Womanly curves coupled with a body that moves like silk and I’m burning to dance with her. I’ll need to move fast though, if I’m to beat Juan Alcaraz, my teacher of Latin American, to it.

She’s a doggy daycare owner who’s being run ragged by her charges. He’s a personal trainer who loves a challenge. It’s anyone’s guess who’ll be the first to lie down and roll over when they get together.

BETTANY

I can’t ignore the ache in my knees any longer. Then my Doctor says ‘absolutely not’ to my request for cortisone injections. Nope, she’s got something far more painful in mind. I know she’s right with her advice, but this won’t make it any easier to swallow. I’m complaining bitterly right up until the point I see who’ll be administering her particular brand of medicine.

Dax Nichols is a polar opposite of me. Even Stella, his Staffordshire Bull Terrier, carries more muscle than I do. Does this mean he’ll go easy on me? According to him, that’d be a big fat NO. We haven’t even started our first training session when my heart rate is already through the roof. That man without a shirt on is enough to burn calories all on its own. I hope he knows mouth-to-mouth.

DAX

When my big sister says she’s recommended me as a personal trainer, I’m annoyed. I’ve got enough on my plate getting my latest fitness app over the line. That’s when I see my new client. I live in a world where muscle is king. Meanwhile, Bettany Brooks is curvy and all the more gorgeous for it. What was my sister thinking? I wouldn’t change a thing about this woman; she’s perfect as she is.

But, on hearing the challenges of her day and seeing her grimace in pain as we walk along the boardwalk at Coogan’s, I know I can help. And all without sacrificing that stunning figure of hers. I’ve got a month to prove she won’t end up looking like Schwarzenegger, and that I’m the right man for her. With pup Stella at my side, how can I fail?

She’s a plus-size model who’s in danger of having her career and life derailed. He’s in the business of making sure people play nice, whether they want to, or not.

PHOEBE

I should be out celebrating making the cover of Sports Fan Magazine, and in a bikini, no less. Instead, I’m hiding out in my hotel room, jumping at the slightest sound. It hasn’t always been this way, but with fame, came the crazies. Men who think I’m destined to be theirs, even if this would see us living in their mom's basement.

Wyatt Cassidy, Head of Security at Maddigan’s, is anything but crazy. He’s tough, he’s hot, and he’s confident, especially about his ability to keep me safe. But for him to do that, I’ll have to leave my room. The questions I’m facing now are, do I trust him enough to follow him through that steel door at the back of the hotel’s underground car park? And do I trust myself to keep my hands off him?

WYATT

When my boss at Maddigan’s Resort and Spa says he has a special assignment for me, he isn’t kidding. However, she’s more than special. She’s perfect. Perfect for me, that is. Before meeting Phoebe Jackson, I think she’s just out for attention when she says she’s in danger. That’s until I see the guy skulking outside her room, the one who takes off when he spots me.

I’ve been Head of Security at the hotel for too long to ignore the warning signs, and on showing Phoebe a screen-grab from the security camera, she confirms my suspicions. Apparently, the guy’s backed her into a corner more than once, and he frightens her.

Experience also tells me I can’t keep her safe in a hotel the size of Maddigan’s. For that, we have to disappear. And if this sees us in self-imposed lock-down until he’s stopped, I’m sure I can think of one or two things to keep us occupied.

She loves everything about Christmas. He’s more bah humbug about the season. Will sparks fly when the elf in charge of illuminations and the electrician connect?

NATASHA

Lucian Davis sure as heck isn’t happy about my design choice, mind you, he’s never happy. Nope, he’s grumpy with a capital G. It’s a good thing he’s also G for gorgeous. However, on stepping in to help me with my reindeer issue, he’s way beyond grumpy, he’s furious.

LUCIAN

I don’t get the appeal. To me, Christmas is just another day, one where I’ll get more call-outs than usual. What is it about folks overloading their electrical panels at this time of year? One house last year had enough lights that it would have been visible from space, if not for them blowing all the fuses.

On seeing Natasha Frank skating around on the roof of the Coogan's Break Welcome Center, I come close to blowing a fuse of my own. This is thanks to her elf costume highlighting all her good bits—and trust me, I’d know—and her about to hurt herself if I don’t step in.

She spends her days designing and making jewelry. He also makes things, although he’s happier with wood. Are they destined to build a life together, or will his past get in their way?

MACIE

I’ve always loved sparkly things, being a bit of a magpie when I was a kid. Hours spent combing the sand, looking for beach glass, each discovery more exciting than the last. If I was as lucky at finding love as I am, the opaque beauties that litter the beach after a storm, my life would be perfect.

Then life hits me with my very own storm. The first time I see Brad McKenna he’s out cold and naked thanks to my backhanding him with a tennis racket. What can I say? I thought he was a burglar. I also think he’s as hard and gorgeous as any beach glass I’ve collected.

BRAD

The one thing in my new life that I don’t want to avoid is Macie Hart, having fallen for her even before she introduced me to her vintage Slazenger. There’s something about her that has me thinking I can be a better man, an honest one, one able to leave his past behind for good.

È una pasticcera con un debole per i dolci. Lui è un veterano bravo con le mani, forse persino eccezionale. Possono gli opposti attrarsi quando i loro mondi collidono?

SKYE

La mia vita sono le torte. Torte dolci, torte salate, torte di ogni forma e dimensione. Ma per quanto ami una buona pasta frolla, c'è qualcos'altro in cui preferirei affondare i denti. E non c'è nulla di salutare in questa delizia.

A prima vista, la mia vita è perfetta, e anche se potrei permettermi un'auto migliore, ci sono vantaggi nel possedere un catorcio che si guasta regolarmente. Il vantaggio più grande è Seth Adams, proprietario di Adams Towing.

L'ultima volta che sono rimasta in panne mi ha detto che se fosse successo di nuovo, avrei pagato caro. Incrocio le dita sperando che la mia carta di credito non sia l'unica cosa che vorrà.

SETH

Ci sono vantaggi nel possedere la propria attività, anche se si tratta solo di te e un carro attrezzi. Il migliore ultimamente è quanto spesso ho dovuto salvare Skye Fraser da ovunque quella sua auto sospetta si sia guastata. Quella donna è una minaccia del tipo migliore.

Ma salvando lei, sto anche salvando me stesso? C'è qualcosa in quella rossa formosa che mi dice che riesce a vedere oltre le mie cicatrici, non importa quanto bene le abbia nascoste. Aggiungici che è una dolce leccornia che non mi dispiacerebbe assaggiare, e potrei essere fuori dalla mia portata.

Lei è una contabile che ama l'ordine nella sua vita. Lui è un cacciatore di taglie per il quale la vita è caotica e pericolosa. Possono gli opposti attrarsi quando il suo mondo bussa alla porta di lei?

JOSIE

Ho sempre desiderato l'equilibrio nella mia vita, quindi formarmi come contabile e unirmi all'azienda di famiglia è stata una scelta ovvia. È sicuro e non ci sono mai sorprese. È proprio così che mi piace. Uscendo dall'ufficio venerdì sera, non avrei mai potuto immaginare che uno come Chase Hunter avrebbe finito per dominare il mio weekend e potenzialmente la mia vita.

Certo, l'ho visto da lontano, e forse mi sono anche sbavata dietro, ma trovare tutti i suoi centonovanta centimetri nel mio cortile, e senza camicia, è tutta un'altra storia. Una storia che desidero leggere, lentamente e attentamente.

CHASE

Chase Hunter, cacciatore di taglie, e sì, ho sentito TUTTE le battute, quindi non disturbatevi. Preferisco definirmi un agente di recupero su cauzione, piuttosto che modellarmi su qualche star dei reality dai capelli lunghi. Certo, mi piace catturare il mio uomo e la ricompensa tanto quanto i miei famosi colleghi; lo faccio solo con meno spavalderia.

È questa spinta a riuscire che mi porta a inseguire un criminale attraverso mezza dozzina di cortili in un venerdì sera. È quando il farabutto irrompe in una casa che le cose diventano davvero interessanti. Certo, acciuffo il tizio, ma trovo anche Josie Robinson. E che scoperta. Potrebbe essere la donna che ho cercato per tutto questo tempo?

Lei è tutta per la positività del corpo, rifiutandosi di nascondere le sue curve più a lungo. Lui è tutto per nascondersi dal mondo, dal suo passato e soprattutto dal suo futuro.

MANDY

Sono la regina del doppiaggio, cosa che spesso mi trova rinchiusa in una stanza insonorizzata. Sono sicura che è dove il fumante e burbero Logan Young preferirebbe che rimanessi.

Ma brucio dalla voglia di mostrargli l'errore dei suoi modi, oltre a qualche altra cosa. Ciò significa che questo usignolo sta rompendo le sbarre della sua gabbia auto-imposta per volare via. Sto per essere confrontata come mai prima, e da qualcuno che non mi aspettavo; soprattutto non quando ero nuda.

LOGAN

Preferisco stare per conto mio mentre proteggo la foresta, le case delle persone e persino me stesso. Sto pensando che per quanto riguarda il mio corpo, Mandy Gibson potrebbe essere una minaccia più grande del fuoco.

Preferisco tenermi lontano dal mondo, con qualsiasi quantità di solitudine meglio che avere il mio cuore strappato dal petto e calpestato di nuovo. Sfortunatamente, il destino e una radura intima nella foresta hanno altre idee, tentandomi come mai prima.

Non ha mai superato quel primo amore, dedicandosi invece alla sua attività. Nel frattempo, la sua carriera è finita, anche se non per colpa sua.

BRIDGET

Ho sempre avuto il pollice verde, al punto che ne ho fatto un'attività. L'unica cosa che non riesco a coltivare è l'amore. Non è sempre stato così. Al liceo, avevo l'imbarazzo della scelta tra i ragazzi, anche se per me ce n'era sempre stato solo uno, Jason Adams. Purtroppo, lui scelse l'esercito invece di noi, cosa che non gli ho mai perdonato. Incontrandolo di nuovo dopo tutti questi anni, le ferite sono fresche come allora.

JASON

Sono stato addestrato a fare del male, ma quei giorni sono finiti per me. I tagli al bilancio mi fanno lasciare l'esercito prima di quanto avrei voluto, prima di quanto avrei pensato possibile. Cresciuto come figlio di militare, era scontato che mi sarei arruolato, eppure il mio fratellino mi ha battuto sul tempo. Ok, «fratellino» è un termine improprio visto che Seth è il più piccolo solo per mezz'ora e un centimetro e mezzo. Non importava che fossi innamorato all'epoca; era mio dovere proteggerlo.

Immagino che tutti facciamo errori, giusto?

Ha bisogno di un colpo di fortuna se sta facendo quadrare i conti. Lui è bloccato a gestire uno dei casinò più piccoli della famiglia. Fingere di essere fidanzati potrebbe essere una scommessa che paga per entrambi?

DONNA

Fuggire da San Francisco per Coogan's Break è stato molto più facile che affrontare le cose che andavano bump nel cuore della notte. Di solito Bryan - il mio ex - ubriaco, che tentava di entrare in casa.

Tre mesi dopo e mi ritrovo in un lavoro senza sbocchi per un tipo che paga meno del salario minimo e che considera le tasse statali opzionali. Sono anche in ritardo con l'ultimo pagamento dell'affitto. Entrando nel casinò del Maddigan's Resort and Spa, spero in una piccola vincita. Ma il bellissimo Liam Maddigan potrebbe rivelarsi il mio jackpot definitivo?

LIAM

So perché sono bloccato a Coogan's Break. È perché papà vuole che abbandoni lo stile di vita da playboy e metta la testa a posto. Potrebbe aver accennato ai nipoti. Sono qui da due mesi ormai, e mi sta uccidendo. Il pensiero di passare l'estate in una piccola città della California mi fa maledire il suo nome finché non la vedo.

Il modo in cui Donna Wilder è appollaiata su quello sgabello del bar fa per me. Potrebbe essere che la vita stia per diventare interessante E posso tenere il vecchio lontano dalle mie spalle?

Lei è una bibliotecaria che adora i romanzi piccanti. Lui è un surfista a cui piace il bagnato e il selvaggio. Riusciranno finalmente a mettersi insieme quando i loro desideri a lungo repressi verranno a galla?

CHLOE

Sono un topo di biblioteca, il che mi porta a lavorare nella biblioteca locale per alimentare la mia dipendenza. Non avrei mai immaginato che la mia vita da bibliotecaria stesse per essere interrotta da qualcosa di più bollente di qualsiasi romanzo piccante a portata di mano. Ma è vero. Blake Mitchell, l'uomo dei miei sogni, è tornato in città e sembra determinato a regalarmi il mio personalissimo capitolo bagnato e selvaggio.

BLAKE

Ho sempre amato la mia vita on the road, inseguendo le onde e sentendomi libero. Ultimamente, però, ho desiderato qualcosa di più permanente, una casa tutta mia. Ma si dice che casa è dove si trova il cuore, e c'è solo un cuore che mi interessa. Tuttavia, a causa della mia reputazione di \"oggi qui, domani via\", le mie possibilità di attirare l'affetto di Chloe Henderson sono pari a zero.

E poi lei mi mostra l'errore dei miei modi, oltre alle sue splendide curve, e tutto torna al suo posto nel mio mondo.

Si nasconde nella villa in rovina che ha ereditato dalla sua prozia. Dopo essersi preso la colpa per un crimine che non ha commesso, ha deciso che la vista da una cella non è di suo gradimento. Riuscirà questa coppia a fuggire insieme?

LINDSEY

LINDSEY Il mio ultimo romanzo è stato massacrato dalla critica in modo così brutale che sono fuggita a Eagle's Nest per leccarmi le ferite e scrivere qualcosa che li avrebbe zittiti. Non mi aspettavo che la villa ereditata fosse così... rustica. Ma i panorami? Quelli compensano tutto. Soprattutto la vista di Ethan Hunter che usa la mia vasca da bagno all'aperto. Il cattivo ragazzo ha 'guai' scritto dappertutto - e non solo nei suoi tatuaggi. Non è per niente come gli uomini che frequento di solito, ma guardare il suo corpo nudo fa sì che la mia mente scriva scene che farebbero arrossire i miei lettori di romanzi rosa. E credimi, vorrei davvero che lui le mettesse in atto.

ETHAN

Coogan's Break. Scenario della mia giovinezza sprecata e di alcune decisioni davvero stupide da cui avrei dovuto allontanarmi. Quegli errori sono esattamente ciò che mi ha trascinato di nuovo qui. Ho una sola possibilità di riabilitare il mio nome - anche solo per il bene di mio nonno - anche se significa giocare con il fuoco. Quello che non avevo previsto era di bruciarmi nel modo migliore possibile. Quando Lindsey Abbott arriva fracassando tra i cespugli e si impossessa dei miei vestiti, sono grato che l'acqua sia abbastanza fredda da smorzare la mia reazione. Non ho bisogno di questo - o più specificamente di lei - nella mia vita in questo momento. Ma qualcosa mi dice che il destino ha altri piani.

Lei è un'avvocatessa che si interroga sul prezzo che la sua carriera le sta facendo pagare. Lui ha già affrontato le conseguenze di una professione totalizzante. Impareranno questi due che l'amore batte il lavoro ogni giorno?

ANGIE

Sto venendo divorata viva da una carriera che mi ha consumato per anni, quando improvvisamente mi ritrovo in congedo amministrativo. Quando un collega avvocato mi chiede di occuparmi della sua casa, non ci penso due volte. Che importa se non ho idea di dove sia Coogan's Break?

Durante la mia seconda visita alla Dynamic Five Dance, ogni pensiero riguardante il mio lavoro in città svanisce. L'ultima volta che ho visto Drew Morton-Huxley è stato durante la sua ultima esibizione con la Manhattan Modern Dance. Il suo modo di ballare era la cosa più eccitante che avessi mai visto, facendomi agitare sulla sedia. Il modo in cui mi guarda ora mi fa chiedere se sto per scoprire se è bravo dal vivo quanto lo era sul palco.

DREW

Ci sono voluti anni, ma finalmente ho accettato che la mia vita da ballerino è finita. Non ho abbandonato completamente quel mondo, decidendo che se non posso più ballare, dovrei pagare il mio debito aiutando coloro che ancora possono, o almeno vogliono farlo. Mentre la mia scuola di danza paga le bollette, non accende il mio fuoco come faceva l'esibirmi.

Tutto cambia nel momento in cui scorgo Angela Bennington alla reception. Curve femminili abbinate a un corpo che si muove come seta e sto bruciando dalla voglia di ballare con lei. Dovrò muovermi velocemente, però, se voglio battere Juan Alcaraz, il mio insegnante di danza latinoamericana.

È una proprietaria di un asilo per cani che viene stremata dai suoi protetti. Lui è un personal trainer che ama le sfide. È difficile dire chi sarà il primo a sdraiarsi e arrendersi quando staranno insieme.

BETTANY

Gestire un asilo per cani mi tiene in movimento, ma le mie ginocchia stanno implorando di fermarmi. Quando il mio medico vieta le iniezioni di cortisone, sono pronta a mordere qualcuno. Poi vedo chi sta prescrivendo la sua speciale medicina, e improvvisamente sono tutta a favore dei trattamenti alternativi.

Dax Nichols è il mio completo opposto - persino il suo Staffordshire Bull Terrier ha più muscoli di me. Pensi che sarà clemente con me? Assolutamente no. Non abbiamo nemmeno iniziato la nostra prima sessione di allenamento e il mio polso sta già accelerando. Questa meraviglia a petto nudo mi fa sperare che sia certificato nella respirazione bocca a bocca, perché avrò sicuramente bisogno di essere rianimata.

DAX

Quando mia sorella maggiore ha detto che mi aveva raccomandato come personal trainer, ero pronto a strangolarla. Ho già abbastanza da fare con il lancio della mia nuova app per il fitness. Poi vedo la mia nuova cliente. Bettany Brooks è tutta curve e carattere, e dannazione se non rischierei l'arresto per cambiare anche un solo centimetro di lei.

Ma quando sento delle sue difficoltà quotidiane e la vedo trasalire mentre camminiamo sulla passeggiata di Coogan's Break, so che posso aiutarla. E posso farlo senza sacrificare quelle curve da knockout. Ho un mese per dimostrarle che non finirà per assomigliare a Schwarzenegger e che sono l'uomo giusto per lei.

Con la cucciola Stella come mia assistente, come posso fallire?

È una modella curvy che rischia di vedere la sua carriera e la sua vita deragliate. Lui è nel business di assicurarsi che le persone si comportino bene, che lo vogliano o no.

PHOEBE

Dovrei essere fuori a festeggiare per essere finita sulla copertina di Sports Fan Magazine, e in bikini, nientemeno. Invece, mi nascondo nella mia camera d'albergo, sobbalzando al minimo rumore. Non è sempre stato così, ma con la fama sono arrivati i pazzi. Uomini che pensano che io sia destinata a essere loro, anche se questo significherebbe vivere nel seminterrato della loro madre.

Wyatt Cassidy, Capo della Sicurezza al Maddigan's, è tutt'altro che pazzo. È duro, è sexy, ed è sicuro di sé, soprattutto riguardo alla sua capacità di tenermi al sicuro. Ma perché lui possa farlo, dovrò uscire dalla mia stanza. Le domande che mi pongo ora sono: mi fido abbastanza di lui da seguirlo attraverso quella porta d'acciaio sul retro del parcheggio sotterraneo dell'hotel? E mi fido di me stessa nel tenere le mani lontane da lui?

WYATT

Quando il mio capo al Maddigan's Resort e Spa dice che ha un incarico speciale per me, non scherza. Tuttavia, lei è più che speciale. È perfetta. Perfetta per me, cioè. Prima di incontrare Phoebe Jackson, penso che stia solo cercando attenzione quando dice di essere in pericolo. Questo finché non vedo il tipo che si aggira furtivamente fuori dalla sua stanza, quello che se ne va quando mi nota.

Sono stato Capo della Sicurezza dell'hotel troppo a lungo per ignorare i segnali d'allarme, e mostrando a Phoebe un fermo immagine dalla telecamera di sicurezza, lei conferma i miei sospetti. A quanto pare, il tipo l'ha messa all'angolo più di una volta, e la spaventa.

L'esperienza mi dice anche che non posso tenerla al sicuro in un hotel delle dimensioni del Maddigan's. Per quello, dobbiamo sparire. E se questo ci vedrà in isolamento autoimposto fino a quando lui non sarà fermato, sono sicuro di poter pensare a una o due cose per tenerci occupati.

Lei ama tutto del Natale. Lui è più tipo \"bah, humbug\" riguardo alla stagione. Scoccheranno scintille quando l'elfa responsabile delle illuminazioni e l'elettricista si connetteranno?

NATASHA

Amo il Natale in California. Amo la neve finta, lo zabaione, la musica, ma soprattutto amo le luci. \"Più ce n'è, meglio è\" è il mio mantra con le illuminazioni. Quest'anno potrei aver esagerato un pochino. Penso che siano state le renne a grandezza naturale a farmi superare il limite.

Lucian Davis di certo non è felice della mia scelta di design, ma d'altronde, non è mai felice. No, è burbero con la B maiuscola. È una fortuna che sia anche B di bellissimo. Tuttavia, quando interviene per aiutarmi con il mio problema di renne, va ben oltre il burbero, è furioso.

LUCIAN

Non ne capisco l'attrattiva. Per me, il Natale è solo un altro giorno, uno in cui riceverò più chiamate di emergenza del solito. Cos'è questa mania della gente di sovraccaricare i loro pannelli elettrici in questo periodo dell'anno? Una casa l'anno scorso aveva così tante luci che sarebbe stata visibile dallo spazio, se non fosse stato per tutti i fusibili saltati.

Quando vedo Natasha Frank pattinare sul tetto del Centro di Accoglienza di Coogan's Break, sono vicino a far saltare un fusibile anch'io. Questo è grazie al suo costume da elfa che mette in risalto tutte le sue belle parti—e fidati, lo saprei—e al fatto che sta per farsi male se non intervengo.

Lei passa le sue giornate a progettare e creare gioielli. Anche lui crea cose, anche se è più felice con il legno. Sono destinati a costruire una vita insieme, o il suo passato si metterà sulla loro strada?

MACIE

Ho sempre amato le cose luccicanti, essendo stata un po' una gazza ladra da bambina. Ore passate a setacciare la sabbia, cercando vetri di mare, ogni scoperta più emozionante dell'ultima. Se fossi fortunata nel trovare l'amore quanto lo sono con quelle bellezze opache che costellano la spiaggia dopo una tempesta, la mia vita sarebbe perfetta.

Poi la vita mi colpisce con la mia personale tempesta. La prima volta che vedo Brad McKenna è svenuto e nudo grazie al colpo che gli ho dato con una racchetta da tennis. Che posso dire? Pensavo fosse un ladro. Penso anche che sia duro e bellissimo come qualsiasi vetro di mare che ho raccolto.

BRAD

Andando verso ovest, speravo di lasciarmi alle spalle la mia vecchia vita, e ci sarei riuscito se non fosse per un terribile scherzo del destino. Avendo scontato la mia pena, avrei dovuto essere libero di andare avanti con la mia vita, ma la mia vecchia banda ha altre idee. Idee che mi metteranno in pericolo di tornare dentro, cosa che voglio evitare a tutti i costi.

L'unica cosa nella mia nuova vita che non voglio evitare è Macie Hart, essendomi innamorato di lei ancora prima che mi presentasse la sua Slazenger vintage. C'è qualcosa in lei che mi fa pensare che posso essere un uomo migliore, uno onesto, uno capace di lasciarsi il passato alle spalle per sempre.

Non ha mai superato quel primo amore, dedicandosi invece alla sua attività. Nel frattempo, la sua carriera è finita, anche se non per colpa sua.

BRIDGET

Ho sempre avuto il pollice verde, al punto che ne ho fatto un'attività. L'unica cosa che non riesco a coltivare è l'amore.

Non è sempre stato così. Al liceo, avevo l'imbarazzo della scelta tra i ragazzi, anche se per me ce n'era sempre stato solo uno, Jason Adams. Purtroppo, lui scelse l'esercito invece di noi, cosa che non gli ho mai perdonato. Incontrandolo di nuovo dopo tutti questi anni, le ferite sono fresche come allora.

JASON

Sono stato addestrato a fare del male, ma quei giorni sono finiti per me. I tagli al bilancio mi fanno lasciare l'esercito prima di quanto avrei voluto, prima di quanto avrei pensato possibile.

Cresciuto come figlio di militare, era scontato che mi sarei arruolato, eppure il mio fratellino mi ha battuto sul tempo. Ok, «fratellino» è un termine improprio visto che Seth è il più piccolo solo per mezz'ora e un centimetro e mezzo. Non importava che fossi innamorato all'epoca; era mio dovere proteggerlo.

Immagino che tutti facciamo errori, giusto?

Entrando nel casinò del Maddigan's Resort and Spa, spero in una piccola vincita. Ma il bellissimo Liam Maddigan potrebbe rivelarsi il mio jackpot definitivo?

LIAM

So perché sono bloccato a Coogan's Break. È perché papà vuole che abbandoni lo stile di vita da playboy e metta la testa a posto. Potrebbe aver accennato ai nipoti.

Sono qui da due mesi ormai, e mi sta uccidendo. Il pensiero di passare l'estate in una piccola città della California mi fa maledire il suo nome finché non la vedo.

Il modo in cui Donna Wilder è appollaiata su quello sgabello del bar fa per me. Potrebbe essere che la vita stia per diventare interessante E posso tenere il vecchio lontano dalle mie spalle?

CHLOE

Ma è vero. Blake Mitchell, l'uomo dei miei sogni, è tornato in città e sembra determinato a regalarmi il mio personalissimo capitolo bagnato e selvaggio.

BLAKE

Ho sempre amato la mia vita on the road, inseguendo le onde e sentendomi libero. Ultimamente, però, ho desiderato qualcosa di più permanente, una casa tutta mia.

Ma si dice che casa è dove si trova il cuore, e c'è solo un cuore che mi interessa. Tuttavia, a causa della mia reputazione di \"oggi qui, domani via\", le mie possibilità di attirare l'affetto di Chloe Henderson sono pari a zero.

E poi lei mi mostra l'errore dei miei modi, oltre alle sue splendide curve, e tutto torna al suo posto nel mio mondo.

AVVERTENZA: In Surf Break, Chloe subisce bullismo. Tuttavia, con l'amore di Blake, riesce a superarlo, uscendone vincitrice in più di un senso. C'è sicuramente un lieto fine, poiché nessuno dovrebbe mai subire bullismo. Come ha detto un recensore: «Adoro una storia in cui la ragazza non solo ottiene il suo lieto fine, ma anche la sua autostima. Brava, signora Malone - 5 STELLE»

Elle est pâtissière avec un faible pour le sucré. Lui est un vétéran doué de ses mains, peut-être même exceptionnel. Les opposés peuvent-ils s'attirer quand leurs mondes entrent en collision ?

SKYE

Ma vie, ce sont les tartes. Sucrées, salées, de toutes formes et tailles. Mais autant que j'aime une bonne pâtisserie, il y a autre chose dans laquelle j'aimerais planter mes dents. Et ce délice n'a rien de très innocent. À première vue, ma vie est parfaite, et bien que je puisse m'offrir une meilleure voiture, il y a des avantages à posséder une vieille guimbarde qui tombe en panne régulièrement.

Le plus grand avantage étant Seth Adams, propriétaire de la société de dépannage Adams. Il m'a dit la dernière fois que je suis tombée en panne que si ça se reproduisait, je paierais cher. J'ai les doigts croisés pour que ma carte de crédit ne soit pas la seule chose qu'il convoite.

SETH

Il y a des avantages à être son propre patron, même si l'entreprise ne se résume qu'à vous et une dépanneuse. Le meilleur ces derniers temps, c'est la fréquence à laquelle j'ai dû secourir Skye Fraser, là où sa voiture douteuse est tombée en panne. Cette femme est un danger public de la meilleure espèce.

Mais en la sauvant, est-ce que je me sauve aussi moi-même ? Il y a quelque chose chez cette rousse pulpeuse qui me dit qu'elle peut voir au-delà de mes cicatrices, peu importe à quel point je les ai enfouies. Ajoutez à cela qu'elle est une douceur que je ne refuserais pas de goûter, et je pourrais bien être hors de ma ligue.

Elle est une comptable qui aime l'ordre dans sa vie. Il est un chasseur de primes pour qui la vie est chaotique et dangereuse. Les opposés peuvent-ils s'attirer quand son monde vient frapper à sa porte ?

JOSIE

J'ai toujours aspiré à l'équilibre dans ma vie, alors me former pour devenir comptable et rejoindre l'entreprise familiale allait de soi. C'est sûr et il n'y a jamais de surprises.

C'est exactement comme je l'aime. En quittant le bureau vendredi soir, je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer que quelqu'un comme Chase Hunter finirait par dominer mon week-end et potentiellement ma vie.

Certes, je l'avais déjà vu de loin, et peut-être même bavé sur lui, mais trouver son mètre quatre-vingt-dix dans mon jardin, et sans chemise, c'est une autre histoire. Une histoire que je rêve de lire, lentement et minutieusement.

CHASE

Chase Hunter, chasseur de primes, et oui, j'ai entendu TOUTES les blagues, alors ne vous fatiguez pas. Je préfère me qualifier d'agent d'application des cautions, plutôt que de me modeler sur une star de télé-réalité aux cheveux longs.

Bien sûr, j'aime attraper mon homme et la récompense autant que mes célèbres homologues ; je le fais juste avec moins de bravade.

C'est cette envie de réussir qui me pousse à pourchasser un criminel à travers une demi-douzaine de jardins un vendredi soir. C'est quand le voyou s'introduit dans une maison que les choses deviennent vraiment intéressantes. Certes, j'attrape le gars, mais je trouve aussi Josie Robinson.

Et quelle trouvaille. Pourrait-elle être la femme que je cherche depuis toujours ?

Elle est une fervente défenseuse de l'acceptation de soi, refusant désormais de cacher ses courbes. Lui ne cherche qu'à se cacher du monde, de son passé, et surtout de son avenir.

MANDY

Je suis la reine du doublage, ce qui m'amène souvent à être enfermée dans une pièce insonorisée. Je suis sûre que c'est là où le beau mais grognon Logan Young préférerait que je reste. Mais je brûle de lui montrer qu'il a tort, et bien d'autres choses encore.

Cela signifie que cet oiseau chanteur va briser les barreaux de sa cage auto-imposée et s'envoler. Je suis sur le point d'être confrontée comme jamais, et par quelqu'un que je n'ai pas vu venir ; surtout pas quand j'étais nue.

LOGAN

Je préfère rester seul tout en protégeant la forêt, les maisons des gens, et même moi-même. Je pense que là où mon corps est concerné, Mandy Gibson pourrait être une plus grande menace que le feu.

Je préfère me tenir à l'écart du monde, toute solitude étant préférable à avoir mon cœur arraché de ma poitrine et piétiné à nouveau. Malheureusement, le destin et une clairière intime dans la forêt ont d'autres idées, me tentant comme jamais.

Elle n'a jamais surmonté son premier amour, se consacrant plutôt à son entreprise. Pendant ce temps, sa carrière est terminée, bien que ce ne soit pas de sa faute.

BRIDGET

J'ai toujours eu la main verte, au point d'en avoir fait mon métier. La seule chose que je ne semble pas pouvoir cultiver, c'est l'amour. Ça n'a pas toujours été ainsi. Au lycée, j'avais l'embarras du choix parmi les garçons, bien qu'il n'y en ait jamais eu qu'un seul pour moi, Jason Adams.

Malheureusement, il a choisi l'armée plutôt que notre relation, chose que je ne lui ai jamais pardonnée. En le croisant à nouveau après toutes ces années, les blessures sont aussi vives qu'au premier jour.

JASON

J'ai été formé pour faire mal, mais ces jours sont derrière moi. Les coupes budgétaires m'obligent à quitter l'armée plus tôt que je ne l'aurais souhaité, plus tôt que je ne l'aurais cru possible. Ayant grandi dans une famille de militaires, il allait de soi que je m'engagerais, et pourtant mon petit frère m'a devancé.

Bon, « petit » est un terme impropre, Seth n'étant le cadet que d'une demi-heure et d'un centimètre et demi. Peu importait que je sois amoureux à l'époque ; c'était mon devoir de le protéger. Je suppose que nous faisons tous des erreurs, n'est-ce pas ?

Elle a besoin d'un coup de chance si elle arrive à joindre les deux bouts. Lui est coincé à diriger l'un des plus petits casinos-hôtels de la famille. Un faux engagement pourrait-il être un pari payant pour eux deux ?

DONNA

Fuir San Francisco pour Coogan's Break était tellement plus facile que de faire face aux bruits inquiétants au milieu de la nuit. Généralement Bryan — mon ex — ivre, tentant de s'introduire chez moi. Trois mois plus tard, me voilà dans un job sans avenir pour un type qui paie en dessous du salaire minimum et qui considère les impôts comme facultatifs.

Je suis aussi en retard sur mon dernier loyer. En entrant dans le casino du Maddigan's Resort and Spa, j'espère un petit gain. Mais le séduisant Liam Maddigan pourrait-il s'avérer être mon jackpot ultime ?

LIAM

Je sais pourquoi je suis coincé à Coogan's Break. C'est parce que papa veut que j'abandonne mon style de vie de playboy et que je me case. Il aurait même mentionné des petits-enfants. Cela fait déjà deux mois que je suis ici et ça me tue. L’idée de passer l’été dans une petite ville de Californie me fait maudire le nom jusqu’à ce que je repère la femme.

La façon dont Donna Wilder est perchée sur ce tabouret de bar m'excite. Se pourrait-il que la vie devienne intéressante ET que je puisse tenir le vieux à distance ?

Elle est bibliothécaire et adore les romances torrides. Lui est surfeur et aime quand c'est mouillé et sauvage. Ces deux-là vont-ils enfin passer à l'acte lorsque leurs désirs longtemps refoulés remonteront à la surface ?

CHLOÉ

Je suis une dévoreuse de livres, ce qui m'a amenée à travailler à la bibliothèque locale pour assouvir mon addiction. Je ne savais pas que ma vie de bibliothécaire allait être bouleversée par quelque chose de plus brûlant que n'importe lequel des romans torrides à portée de main.

Mais c'est vrai. Blake Mitchell, l'homme de mes rêves, est de retour en ville et apparemment déterminé à m'offrir mon propre chapitre mouillé et sauvage.

BLAKE

J'ai toujours adoré ma vie sur la route, à courir après les vagues et à être libre. Dernièrement, cependant, j'ai aspiré à quelque chose de plus permanent, un foyer bien à moi. Mais on dit que le foyer est là où se trouve le cœur, et il n'y a qu'un seul cœur qui m'intéresse.

Hélas, à cause de ma réputation d'être « là aujourd'hui, parti demain », mes chances d'attirer l'affection de Chloé Henderson sont nulles. Et puis elle me montre à quel point je me trompe, avec ses belles courbes, et tout dans mon monde est parfait.

AVERTISSEMENT : Dans Surf Break, Chloé est victime de harcèlement. Cependant, grâce à l'amour de Blake, elle surmonte cette épreuve, en sortant victorieuse à plus d'un titre. Il y a définitivement une fin heureuse à ce sujet, car personne ne devrait jamais être harcelé.

Comme l'a dit un critique : « J'adore une histoire où la fille obtient non seulement son bonheur pour toujours, mais aussi l'estime de soi. Bravo Mme Malone - 5 ÉTOILES »
