Maddie
Palmer lost everything when her ex-husband betrayed her. Years later,
she’s rebuilt her life. It’s safe and stable—everything she
thought she wanted. Until a dangerously sexy ex-con appears in Lost
Coast Harbor...
Gabriel
Reyes just did six years behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.
Now he’s returned, determined to expose the men who set him up. His
best chance at redemption is seducing the straight-laced woman
working for the enemy…until he realizes he’s the one being
seduced.
As
passion ignites, Gabe and Maddie find themselves drawn deeper into
the corruption behind the town’s richest family… even while
facing the greatest danger of all—losing their hearts.
EXCERPT:
“I had
a lovely night, not that it’s any of your business.” The lie
rolled off her tongue.
Gabe
didn’t move. “I’m sure he was everything a date could be.
Polite. Clever. Though it’s hard to take a man seriously when he
orders the butternut squash ravioli at a restaurant that serves
steak.”
“He’s
a vegetarian,” she said absently, before the full meaning of his
words settled on her. “Wait a second. You watched me? You spied on
my date?” Her voice rose with every word, and only her desire not
to wake the neighbors kept her from shouting.
Gabe
shook his head. It was a rueful motion, directed more at himself than
her. “I started to. Then I remembered that was creepy as hell and
went to the diner. Where I ordered steak and eggs, by the way.”
“Still,
the fact that you thought that was okay, even for a second…”
He
stood, the movement fluid and hypnotic, and she couldn’t take her
eyes off him as he prowled toward her. “Don’t fool yourself,
Maddie. I’m not okay. I forgot how to be okay long ago. That’s
what you’ll get with me, but I’ll do my best to make it worth
your time, if you feel like taking a risk.”

Like so
many good ideas, Lost Coast Harbor was inspired by a few rounds of
margaritas. One sunny afternoon, Lily Danes and Eve Kincaid went to a
Mexican restaurant for snacks and tequila and left with the idea for
a new series. Inspired by their love of noir movies and 1940s crime
novels, they imagined a gritty small town full of crime and
corruption, where intrigue and mystery can lead to love and passion.
