In SUMMER AT THE SHORE, Ryan Butler has left his army career due to simmering frustrations and the lure of good money to work at Double Shield, a private military contractor. Yet a year and half have gone by and Ryan's still restless and in need of a long break. He heads to his hometown, the small island of Seashell Bay, that is full of friends and neighbors who are more like family.

Morgan Merrifield is trying hard to save her family's business, the Bed & Breakfast, left to her and her sister after their father's death. She has put her teaching career on hold in order to help her sister, Sabrina, who has personal anxieties and a disability that makes running an inn alone impossible.

Unfortunately, the inn is in a bad condition and needs lots of repairs. Morgan is in desperate need of money and help to fix the inn, so when she sees Ryan returning to island, she offers him a free room in return for handyman work.

Now Morgan and Ryan are under the same roof, Morgan's long-time crush flares into desire, and Ryan is hoping for a life of hot summer nights.

SUMMER AT THE SHORE is the second book in the Seashell Bay series and can be read as a stand-alone novel. V.S. SYKES did a great job creating an image of Seashell Bay with strong characters. It is a heartwarming contemporary romance that stirs emotions and keeps you entertained through the whole story.

Book Summary

JUST A SUMMER FLING?
Morgan Merrifield sacrificed her teaching career to try to save her family's bed-and-breakfast and care for her younger sister. She can't let herself get distracted by Ryan Butler. After all, the rugged ex-Special Forces soldier is only in Seashell Bay for the summer. But her longtime crush soon flares into real desire-and with one irresistible kiss, she's swept away.

Ryan values his freedom. As much as he wants Morgan, he's not ready to settle down with anyone, much less in sleepy Seashell Bay. But his code of honor doesn't allow him to leave a woman in distress- and she's in desperate need of help to fix the inn. It only takes one day working under the same roof and Ryan is already hoping for a lifetime of hot summer nights . . .
