Clarice For as long as I can remember, I’ve called the beach my home. Growing up in my grandpa’s beach house was magical—when it burned down, I couldn’t make myself leave. Sure, I’m living out of a van now, but I still get to spend my days here in the place I’ve always called home. Everything changes when my uncle approaches me about the deed for grandpa’s land. It sounds like he wants to sell it. Not only is it my home, but it’s been a place for people to come and enjoy the ocean for free for decades. When I meet a handsome man who’s come to scope the place out for condos, I hatch a plan. I’m going to make him hate the beach. It’s the only way I can think of to save it. Brian For me, business has always come first. Sure, this beach is pretty as it is, but building condos here would be lucrative. It’s too good of an opportunity to pass up, so I start to scope out the sights as a part of my research for a potential development. That’s when I see her. The sand and the waves have nothing on the beauty I see from afar. Instantly, my business here becomes secondary to my pursuit of her. I want to learn who she is, to know her, to perhaps even claim her as mine for every single other person on this beach to see. When the chance to get closer to her presents itself, I can’t refuse. Will I be able to woo her like she deserves? This summer, your favorite instalove authors are bringing the heat with sun-kissed days and sizzling nights of passion.
