TALBOTT?S COVE IBD

Sinopse

Welcome to TalbottâÇÖs Cove, Maine, a place where everyone deserves second chances and happy ever afters.Included in this collection:Fresh CatchTake a vacation,áthey said.áGet away from Silicon ValleyâÇÖs back-stabbing and power-grabbing. Recharge the innovative batteries. Unwind, then come back stronger than ever.Instead, I got lost at sea and fell in love with an anti-social lobsterman.ThereâÇÖs one small issue:Owen Bartlett doesnâÇÖt know who I am. Who I really am.á***I donâÇÖt like people.I avoid small talk and socializing, and I kick my companions out of bed before the sun rises.No strings, no promises, no problems.Until Cole McClishâÇÖs boat drifts into TalbottâÇÖs Cove, and I bend all my rules for the sexy sailor.I donâÇÖt know ColeâÇÖs story or what heâÇÖs running from, but one thing is certain:IâÇÖm not letting him run away from me.Hard PressedDear Jackson,IâÇÖm leaving you this note because I know youâÇÖre very busy and I donâÇÖt want to waste the town sheriffâÇÖs time. Lord knows IâÇÖve already wasted enough of it.Thank you for taking me home last night and...everything else. I made you a basket of wild blueberry muffins for your trouble. That seemed like the appropriate baked good for getting naked in your living room.I wasnâÇÖt myself last night. I didnâÇÖt mean to kiss you or fondle your backside or ask all those intimate questions. Thank you for pretending to enjoy it.It was very noble of you to sleep on the couch while I was starfished on your bed. I couldnâÇÖt help but notice itâÇÖs quite large. The bed, that is. I swear, I didnâÇÖt notice anything else when I let myself out this morning.As you know, TalbottâÇÖs Cove is a ridiculously small town and thereâÇÖs no chance we can avoid each other. Not that IâÇÖd want to avoid you, of course, but IâÇÖm not sure I can look at you without thinking of the forty different ways I made a fool of myself.Instead of avoidance, letâÇÖs try to be friends. WeâÇÖll forget all about last night...if thatâÇÖs what you want.Please burn this note after you read it-Annettep.s. I whipped up some cinnamon buns, too. Please enjoy them. IâÇÖm not sure why, but I couldnâÇÖt get buns out of my mind today.Far CryBrooke Markham needs a man. A real good man.But sheâÇÖs not looking for a keeper. SheâÇÖs too busy kicking ass, running an empire, and caring for her ailing father to spend time with men who want annoying things like relationships and commitment and...conversation.Brooke knows what she wants and itâÇÖs not a future with the growly barkeep.JJ Harniczek needs money. A whole lot of money.HeâÇÖs determined to launch his distillery, expand his tavern, and put TalbottâÇÖs Cove on the foodie tourism map. But thereâÇÖs no way heâÇÖs asking Brooke for a dime. Not before he takes her to bed and definitely not after.JJ knows where heâÇÖs headed and the blonde bombshell isnâÇÖt about to change that.Not until she changes his entire world.Rough SketchSmart, successful, and sitting pretty at the top of her game, Neera Malik has it all figured out.Save for the small issue of Gustavo Guillmand.The artist with a cult-and Instagram-following has a problem and itâÇÖs not his preference for shirtless selfies.No, he has an attitude problem, a minding his own business problem, an infuriatingly sexy problem.They canâÇÖt stand each other and they canâÇÖt stay away from each other.
