Texas Beach Town Romance

It's the number one rule in this beach town: don't fall for a tourist. But Jonah Lachlan isn't like any tourist I've ever met. He's not here for a good time, that much is obvious. In fact, the brooding, boy-next-door cutie is clearly hell-bent on being miserable. Though he's here with his best friend, he doesn't seem interested in hook-ups. Or fun. The guy brought a book to this beach full of gorgeous single gay men, for crying out loud. Who does that?? And as if he couldn't be any more confusing, he seems superhumanly immune to anyone who flirts with him. Myself included.

When Quintin Ruiz’s classmate invites him down to Dreamwood Isle for the weekend, the last thing he wanted was to capture the attention of the beach town’s infamous “Heart Crusher” Adrian Tyler.

I'm on the run from a bad family situation. Everyone said Dreamwood Isle is where I would find happiness at last, a balmy and promising beach town on the Texas coast. I'm tired of curling up on park benches. I hate stealing to survive. But it seems even here in paradise, I'm still struggling to find a place I belong. That changes the night I steal from a local beachside bar called the Easy Breezy. I don't make it far before Cooper—the handsome, humble owner—catches me. I already know it's the end. I'll be taken to the cops, turned in, finished. Instead, he takes me back to his place.

One mistake. One viral video. One ruined career. That's all it takes for the world to turn on me: Hollywood's former golden boy. Now I'm hiding out in a rundown bungalow on Dreamwood Isle, praying the paparazzi won't track me down. I need safety. Solitude. Anonymity. What I get instead is Finn: the son of my bungalow landlord, charming, adorably clumsy — and the one man alive who doesn't care that I'm River Wolfe, fallen angel of the big screen. Which only makes me want him more.
