This summer was supposed to be different. I thought I was going spend these months excitedly preparing for my first-ever classroom teaching gig, taking a big step in my education career. Instead, I’ve got zero leads on teaching jobs and I’m managing The Sugar Shack on the Ocean Point boardwalk. Again. My BFF says we should make this summer ours and take the New Jersey shore by storm, doing all the things we never have because we’re locals, not tourists, thankyouverymuch. But my heart’s not in it. At least, not until billionaire Crispin Donne walks into my life. When I meet my new boss for the first time, everything changes. I find myself wondering what could happen if I really let myself go after what I want—him and his sweet soul and sexy body. But can I let him make me his? Tess didn’t think she’d be working at the boardwalk instead of setting out in her professional career. Crispin had no idea his estranged father was planning on making him a billionaire. Neither is where they expected—or wanted—to be, but that doesn’t mean they’re not exactly where they’re supposed to be... Slather on the sunscreen, grab a towel, and pack your beach umbrella because we’re going down the shore! Meet the brand new Down the Shore series, a collection of sizzling mostly-standalone short stories set at the New Jersey shore. From Ocean Point’s iconic piers to its salt-scented sand, over-the-top insta-love is in the air. Get ready for boardwalk flings, ocean romps, and sex on the beach because Poppy’s bringing the heat with these sexy happily ever afters!
