Sex on the beach has never been so much fun! USA Today bestselling author Jamie K. Schmidt kicks off a series set in paradise with an irresistible tale of second chances, secret identities—and a connection that’s too sweet to miss. When Amelia Parker arrives in Maui, newly single and unemployed, she’s shocked to discover the resort she booked is actually a ramshackle little beachside hotel. At least the scenery is easy on the eyes—as is the toned, laid-back snorkel instructor, “Dude.” After two weeks of sun, serenity, and mind-blowing sex, she even accepts a job as the hotel’s concierge. But what Amelia really wants is to relaunch the place completely. And that means convincing the absentee Wall Street billionaire owner, Samuel Kincaide, to take a chance on her. Samuel has a plan, too: selling off every last reminder of his former life and chilling all day, every day as his slacker altar ego . . . Dude. He loves his romps in the ocean, and under the sheets, with the feisty Amelia. If she discovers his true identity, her boundless enthusiasm and innovative business plan will seriously diminish his hammock time. But when Amelia runs into real trouble on the island, he’ll put everything on the line to keep her safe. He just hopes that the woman who’s falling for Dude will feel the same about Samuel.

Return to Maui in the follow up to the USA Today best seller, Life's a Beach. Jamie K. Schmidt's Beach Happens is the perfect Hawaii staycation filled with snarky laughs and sexy romance. Attorney Michaela Harris is on her honeymoon—Alone. After being jilted at the altar, she takes off to Maui, only to lose her luggage and be stranded without a hotel room, thanks to her ex-fiancé canceling the reservation. The sympathetic staff at the Palekaiko Beach Resort look the other way when Michaela makes a deal to stay in a room that’s being renovated until a better one is available. She hits the surf to forget about her problems, but when she encounters a shark, she wonders if things will ever get better. Billionaire Marcus Kincaide is about to lose his resort. No renovations will turn this around, not with his arch enemy out to destroy him. Marcus has got to keep his head in the game, but the mysterious and pretty wahine in the teeny bikini he rescued from a shark is filling his mind with desires that demand his attention. He figures a hot, intense and short affair is in order, so he can get back to the business of saving his livelihood. What he didn’t figure was falling for her and giving his enemy just what he needs to take him down.

When Joely Anderson's past catches up with her at the Palekaiko Beach Hotel, she's ready to turn in her housekeeping apron and go on the run again. Except she's rebuilt her life in paradise with good friends, a decent job, and most of all—she never got to act on the crush she's had on the hunky Security Chief. Saying goodbye to Maui and Holt just might break her heart. Security Chief Holt Kawena has always suspected the luscious redhead of keeping secrets and now that her abusive ex has hunted her down, he's willing to stand and fight. But when that terrifies Joely, he makes a deal with his gangster uncle to hide out Upcountry on his family's horse ranch. Only Joely's ex isn't just looking for his wife back, he's looking to stop the person he thinks has been blackmailing him for the past five years. The Palekaiko Beach Resort's maid was once a cyber thief, but she's no blackmailer. Even so, for straight-laced, Holt, who has been trying to distance himself from his uncle's underworld ties, that may be a deal breaker on the sizzling relationship he's been chasing with Joely ever since she kissed him.
