Their dogs are in love. We are definitely not. I came to Pelican Point with pastel dreams, a flower truck named Petal Pusher, and a golden retriever who’s never met a boundary she didn’t barrel through. Starting fresh sounded great, until I nearly ran over the town’s grumpiest firefighter and his overly disciplined German Shepherd. Ashe McAllister is hot, humorless, and infuriatingly off-limits. I’m sunshine and sass. He’s smoke and steel. The only thing we agree on? Our dogs need supervised visitation. But between shared dog playdates, accidental sleepovers, and public bickering that somehow passes for flirting, I’m starting to think there’s more beneath that scowl. Because under all that broody silence… Ashe is on fire. And I just might be the one getting scorched. A steamy, hilarious enemies-to-lovers rom-com packed with grumpy firemen, meddling townsfolk, and golden retriever matchmaking magic. Welcome to Pelican Point – Where Love is as Endless as the Ocean Nestled along Florida’s sun-drenched coastline, Pelican Point is a charming seaside town where romance is always in the air, and passion simmers beneath the surface. In this steamy, multi-author contemporary romance world, love stories unfold in the cozy cafés of Seabreeze Avenue, along the sun-kissed beaches, and beneath the twinkling lights of the marina. From broody billionaires to rugged fishermen, small-town sheriffs to sassy shop owners, every love story in Pelican Point is filled with undeniable chemistry, heart-melting moments, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. With interconnected characters and a vibrant community that feels like home, readers will return to Pelican Point again and again for irresistible romance, scorching heat, and all the small-town charm they crave. Come for the sunshine, stay for the love—welcome to Pelican Point!
