It’s finally here! If you love cake, beach sunsets, and falling in love, this is for you! On Kindle and in paperback, check in to The Barefoot Beach Rental!

Here’s the story:

When a down-on-her-luck baker moves into the Barefoot Beach Rental for a month, she brings the heat to her sexy landlord while also finding a sweet spot of her own.

Ava Bottoms dreams of owning her own bakery where elaborate wedding cakes and custom creations abound. She has baking talent and experience, but she’s mixed romance with business a few too many times, so she’s starting over at the wise age of almost thirty. Burned out of a home and kitchen due to a recent incident with a flaming dessert, Ava checks in to the Barefoot Beach Rental for a month. The brochure promises a gourmet kitchen where she hopes to finish writing The Year of Cake—the book that will bring her the fame and fortune she needs to achieve her bakery dream. She’s sworn off distractions of the male kind, but it’s tough keeping her oven mitts off the sexy owner of her beach rental.

Dalton Neverly checks guests in and out at his Barefoot Beach Rental. Most guests stay only a week, and he savors temporary relationships. Six years after his divorce, he can still hardly look at the gourmet kitchen in rental unit two without remembering what his ex-wife cooked up with a visiting chef. Dalton loves his beach lifestyle, but when Ava moves in next door for a month and tempts him every day with sweets, he wonders if it’s time to feel the heat again.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m making my bestselling novel The Gull Motel free for a few days to celebrate the sequel, The Barefoot Beach Rental, coming March 30. Grab a free book, preorder the next one, and settle in with your toes in the sand for a beach romance!

White Pine Island Stories, book 6

When love is in bloom…

Charlotte Nielson, the recently hired head gardener at the Grand Hotel, has labored to bring the resort’s already beautiful gardens in line with her artistic vision. She’s uprooted plants, re-routed paths, and even ripped out an established garden to make room for a model of the Grand Hotel, complete with its own fairy garden. All risks she hopes will pay off with the grand prize during White Pine Island’s Garden Weekend.

Jay Archer, the Dolphin Inn’s gardener, is Charlotte’s only competition. He’s dark, handsome, and harbors an obvious dislike for her. Jay wanted the position at the Grand Hotel so much he imagined the placement of every flower and shrub in the extensive gardens. As consolation, he’s thrown himself into projects at the Dolphin Inn with the goal of besting the Grand Hotel’s new gardener. When Charlotte and Jay get coerced into revitalizing another garden on the island together, they discover a passion for each other that neither expected to take root and bloom.

They’d loved each other once…

Two years ago, Gigi said goodbye to Richard when she believed she was second in Richard’s heart. His professional golf career was just taking off leaving him little time for love. Gigi didn’t know yet what she wanted from life, but she knew she wanted a man who valued her more than his job. In the two years since, her design career has taken off with a popular line of purses and bags. On the verge of having it all, there’s just one thing missing from her life.

The professional golf tournament life is a brutal one of travel and competition, but Richard and his colleagues stay in the finest hotels. When the tour goes to White Pine Island for a tournament at the Grand Hotel’s golf course, Richard discovers Gigi working in the hotel’s boutique but on the cusp of achieving her professional dreams. He’s never forgotten her, and not even accolades and trophies on the golf course have filled the empty hole in his heart. With only a four-day weekend to reconnect, can they show each other they’ve both changed enough to give their love another chance?

Summer at the Grand Hotel

White Pine Island Stories, book 3 

Some secrets need a little time to tell…

Celeste Fitzgerald and Mike Phillips danced around each other for four years until the spring night when they tangoed in his bed. Wary of relationships, Mike shoved her out the door in the morning. He’s been burned before, and no one knows that better than Celeste. Still, there’s something about the lovely, dark-haired artist he is unable to ignore. When she reaches out to him again in June, he can’t help but grasp her hand and pull her close.

Loving Mike is the easy part for Celeste. Telling him she’s carrying his baby frightens her into silence. As the summer heats up, Celeste bides her time, waiting for the right moment to tell him that their one night together in the spring formed an undeniable link between them. When she reveals the truth, will he shoot away from her faster than a July Fourth rocket or color her world with a burst of fireworks?

She hopes playing the piano with the Grand Hotel orchestra will restore her passion for music and energize her for the most important audition of her life. But what if her summer job comes with the unexpected–falling in love and questioning her heart’s desire?
