Description

She’s guarding a family secret. He’s investigating a murder. Will a second homecoming lead to true love?

Freya Hunter is living the fabulous life. The west-coast girl rakes it in as a fashion model in New York City, but everything changes after she returns home for a quick visit.

The reunion with friends and family in Enchantment Bay is sweet, especially when she hits it off with Nico Valentin, a ruggedly handsome police sergeant. As Nico investigates the death, Freya learns a family secret big enough to turn her world upside down.

Freya is torn between her new life and her hometown -  the life she loves vs. the brother who needs her and the sergeant who wants her. When her decision doesn’t go nearly as well as she planned, she wonders if she can help her brother and keep her growing feelings for Nico at bay before they consume her.

Excerpt

Nico put the tickets in his wallet for safekeeping. “Sounds good to me.”

She took his hand and pulled him toward the stores. His pulse raced, but she didn’t seem to think anything of holding his hand.

A few people glanced at them, seeming surprised. Being on the force, he was well-known and he hadn’t been on a single date since moving to Enchantment Bay. And he’d definitely never been out with someone as attractive as Freya.

She stopped in front of a candle place. “You ever been in there?”

Nico held in a snort. “No. The only candle I own is for when the power goes out.”

Freya stared at him for a moment. “Seriously?”

“Just for emergencies.”

“You don’t know what you’re missing. Come on.” She yanked on his arm—she was stronger than she looked—and dragged him inside. An array of aromas hit him all at once. He couldn’t tell one from the other, but he liked the way they blended together.

Almost like the unexpected pairing of him and Freya.

Sweet Dreams

by Stacy Claflin

Description

Ever since her twin became a singing sensation, Sky Hampton has struggled to be appreciated for who she is - apart from her sister. She wards off Aspen’s fans, who beg for autographs and selfies everywhere Sky goes. She can’t even find a guy who likes her for her. Sky flees to the small coastal town of Indigo Bay in hopes of blending in and building her blossoming career.

Jace Fisher is the textbook definition of the strong silent type - nobody can break through his tough exterior. He has suffered more than his fair share of tragedies, and to protect his shattered heart, he pushes everyone away. Jace spends his days fixing the Indigo Bay cottages, and his nights ... nobody really knows. He keeps to himself.

When Jace shows up to fix Sky’s AC, he barely notices her and she’s distracted with settling in. It takes an emergency situation to get them talking, and when they do, the two find they have more in common than first appeared. As their attraction grows, defenses soar. Will they be able to risk love when they’ve both been burned in the past?

Sweet Sunrise

by Kay Correll

Description

Sometimes life has a way of teaching lessons whether you’re ready to learn them or not ...

The last place on earth Will Layton wants to be is Indigo Bay, but his younger sister needs him and he’s never been able to say no to her. But she left out a few details ... like their father staying with her and the girl who dumped him years ago is living right next door.

The last person Dr. Ashley Harden thought she’d see in Indigo Bay is Will Layton, but he’s back in town and just as irresistible as when they were young. Seeing Will again is a complication that isn’t on her carefully mapped out life plan.

In spite of Ashley’s best intentions, she starts falling for Will again, but nothing has changed. She’s still focused on getting the townspeople to accept her and see her as more than the girl from the wrong side of town, while Will is determined to guard his heart at any cost.

Not the easiest road to true love ... especially when secrets from the past are revealed and history threatens to repeat itself.

Sweet Rendezvous

by Danielle Stewart

Description

On her last tank of gas Elaine Mathews drives South. Spontaneity had never been her strength, but there was something about being publicly fired that had a way of changing things. An empty bank account, broken heart, and enough humiliation to last a life time was all Elaine could claim as her own. Her car choked to a stop in the quiet beach town of Indigo Bay and all she could do was sit on the curb and wait for the sun to set on her misery.

Davis Mills has a routine. Wake. Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. It hadn’t always been that way. He’d left indigo bay once and returned a broken man. Now he kept his dreams small and his schedule tight. If there was no room in his life for anything new then he’d never repeat his mistakes.

When fate has them, quite literally colliding Elaine and Davis are faced with an important question. Can you live a full life if you never take a risk? Or is life made up of every mistake, miracle and chance that comes with being in love?

Praise for the Book

" ... this is the first I've read of the Hunter series. I'm definitely going to have to get the rest of them now!!! I was hooked with this book and didn't want it to end. It's a great stand alone book. Even though I had not read the other Hunter books I was not lost and in no way felt I had missed anything. Good strong characters. Love the pranks between Zachary and Cruz. Can't wait to read the others." ~ Debra Webb

"Stacy has sure outdone herself with this great book. It's got it all, tragedy, suspense, love, and a church full of gorgeous men and brothers to boot. I think this is my overall favorite and I can't wait to see what the cousins bring to the party. I still would like to go back and hear all about the only sister and what her influence had in her brothers lives. Don't miss this book and enjoy your Christmas with this great family." ~ peggy2000

"A wonderfully sweet story! Talia and Cruz are opposites that don't start off liking each other but their connection starts slowly and then deepens as they spend time together. I enjoyed their journey and how they handle things. This is my first Seaside Hunters book and will definitely be checking out the previous stories!" ~ Jenn Allen

"This is the first book I've read about the Hunter brothers and after reading this one I will definitely be reading the others. I loved the story, all about how people from different worlds can come together to make an amazing love story. The story kept me sucked in to the book from start to finish and I just had to get it read." ~ Amazon Customer

"My favorite book yet. I really love the story line and how opposite the couple is yet the fit together. It's one of the first books I read when the preacher is far from judgmental. He would rather have a tattooed good man for a son in law than a pretty boy shmuck. Awesome read." ~ Kris

About the Author

I don’t stick to a single genre in my writing, reading, or viewing. My favorite shows include Supernatural, The Walking Dead, Pretty Little Liars, Lost Girl, Vampire Diaries, and Once Upon a Time.

I’ve been writing and telling stories for as long as I can remember. As a kid, my story telling would get me into trouble because I would try to convince others that my stories were real.

When I’m not busy writing, I like spending time with my family and friends. I also educate my kids from home.
