A novel by Cindy Ray Hale
She moved onto his dock to start over. He didn't plan on starting over too.
Emma
I move my three kids onto a houseboat for a fresh start. I don't plan on the grumpiest marina owner on the coast.
Paul Spencer hates my fairy lights, my possessed coffee maker, and the celebrity yacht wedding I accidentally brought to his dock.
Now we're forced together, and every argument pulls us closer to something dangerous.
He makes my kids pancakes. He carries my son home from fireworks. He's not what I expected.
Paul
My marina is quiet. My life is under control. Then Emma Mills docks ten feet away with a smile that's ruining everything.
I lost my wife. I don't do second chances. But the Bookaholics Anonymous book club is watching, her eight-year-old wants me to teach knot-tying, and I'm absolutely falling for her.
A grumpy-sunshine, enemies-to-lovers beach romcom. Clean and sweet with Hallmark-movie heart.
