I’ve been crushing on my best friend’s twin brother for—I don’t know—forever. Parker Montgomery. The hottest f\*boy in Seaglass Beach. Hell, maybe the entire state of Florida. His panty-melting charm is the stuff of legends. And I’ve seen that dazzling smile melt the resolve of more than one Southern belle. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone immune to Parker freaking Montgomery. Including me. He’s never so much as glanced my way, so I’ve all but given up hope on anything ever happening between us. Until a hurricane blows through, knocking out a good portion of my tiny duplex, and suddenly I’m Parker’s new roommate. For the first time ever, things between us are heating up and feeling a lot less than platonic. But I’m not sure I should trust the biggest playboy in town, even if he is hot as sin and far deeper than his reputation suggests. Now I’m falling in love with Parker Montgomery—and that could turn out to be the biggest mistake of my life.

He’s not my type. So why is this grumpy baseball star living rent-free in my head? Griffin Carter. Tall, dark, and d\*ck-ish—and not in a good way. Ever since the surly injured pro baseball player rolled into town for a rehab vacation, he’s been an absolute downer. Rude. Condescending. And unfortunately, sexy as hell. When his aunt falls and breaks her wrist, he’s stuck running Seaglass Scoops, the ice cream parlor adjacent to my family inn. After scooping one too many cones together, Griffin’s gruff exterior begins to melt and I catch a glimpse of the real him. I should stick to the plan and not get involved. But after one taste of him, I’m not sure I can resist temptation. I know I’m setting myself up for heartbreak—he’s leaving as soon as he gets the all-clear from the team doctor. Besides, everyone knows baseball is his true love—but maybe I can convince him life after baseball can be just as sweet?

It all started with a bang. Literally. Hooking up in the alley behind the local dive bar wasn’t my usual style, but after one martini too many, I gave into my impulses. I banged Roman Montgomery, former Marine and current hot AF bodyguard to the mayor of Seaglass Beach. So I was shocked when I walked into court the next day and caught the eye of the defendant in my new land title case. The case I was strong-armed into taking—pro bono, no less—to pay the gambling debt my deadbeat dad owed the Capelli brothers. Now I’m suing my one-night stand and his family on a dubious land claim. Even an embarrassing disclosure to the judge about my sexy conflict of interest doesn’t get me dismissed from the case. I’ve lived my entire life following the rules, coloring in the lines. And I give my all to every case, every time. But this time, my heart’s on the line—and I’m not sure I want to win. Even to save my own father.

I’ve only ever loved one woman. Juliet Capelli. Her last name made her the one woman I couldn’t have. Our families have generations of bad blood between them—and she’s on the wrong side of the feud. Until one night she ends up right where I’ve always wanted her—tangled up in my bedsheets. Fifteen years ago, young and naïve, we tempted fate, sneaking around and making forever promises. But fate had other plans, tearing us apart. To save her from her toxic family, I pushed her away, out of our small town. Then I hid out on my family’s ranch with the horses, nursing a broken heart. Now she’s back and I can’t seem to stay away from her curves, her beguiling eyes, her sassy mouth. Just sliding back into my sheets won’t be enough to win her heart and convince her to give us a second chance. It’s going to take one helluva grovel, that’s for sure. And the same feud that kept us apart still runs deep, threatening to destroy us all. With everyone against us, I only hope the sins of the past can be undone.
