Doughnuts were her weakness. If Sadie Mullins hadn’t been running on the beach to burn off the calories from her doughnut addiction, she wouldn’t have noticed the man not moving out in the water. Wouldn’t have dived in after him. Wouldn’t have met West Montgomery. The cocky bastard should have been thankful, grateful even. Of course, he wasn’t. That should have been the end of it. Of course, it wasn’t. Damn doughnuts.

Having hope was her weakness. If Sadie Mullins hadn’t started to believe in love again, hadn’t let herself fall for him, she wouldn’t be feeling this way. Wouldn’t have her heart breaking. Wouldn’t regret meeting West Montgomery. The cocky bastard should have left her alone, let her forget about him. Let her move on with her life. Of course, he didn’t. That could have been the end of it. Of course, it wasn’t. Damn hope. \*This is Book 2 in the Water's Edge Series and is a continuation of Sadie and West's story that began in Wet. This is not a standalone.

Rue Hawthorne knows what she wants, and she refuses to settle. An amazing job. A fabulous shoe collection. And a lover who knows how to make her toes curl. Is that really asking so much? Problem is, she peaked early – she had the best and let him go. Grady Tomlin was a graduation party one-night-stand. A present to herself. At eighteen, she’d assumed all sex would be that impressive. She’d been wrong. And she didn’t do second best. Six years later, she’s still kissing bullfrogs, searching for someone with skills to compete with Grady’s. But there was just… No. Comparison. Rue is done with settling. Grady better be ready. Because this time, she isn’t walking away after just one hot night.
