Eve

I need a change of scenery.

My creativity—and my belief in happily ever after—dried up after my divorce. That’s problematic for someone who writes love stories for a living.

The small town of Seaside might be the perfect place to recharge. Finding a romance of my own, however, is not on the agenda. Especially not with the sexy handyman who is not only ten years younger than me, but also used to be the Hollywood star my daughter idolized.

Too bad his forbidden status only makes me want him more…

Max

I left Hollywood in my rearview years ago and never looked back.

No one in Seaside cares about my past. So, I’m content here. Everything is easy. Simple.

Until Eve Reese shows up.

She’s everything I never knew I needed, and I’ll do whatever it takes to convince her we’re meant to be together. No worries, right?

I wish…

I threatened the friendship I treasure by crossing the line, but I’m also making him and his kids more of an outcast than they already are.
