Blurb
From New York Times bestselling author Heidi McLaughlin comes a heartfelt story about overcoming great loss and forgiving past sins to find happiness again.
Brooklyn Hewett hasn’t stepped foot in Cape Harbor for fifteen years—not since an accident claimed the love of her life, Austin Woods. Desperate to move forward, Brooklyn has focused on raising her daughter for the past fourteen years. But when the opportunity comes along to renovate, and possibly buy, the old Driftwood Inn, Brooklyn knows it’s time to go home.
But it won’t be easy. For one, Austin’s best friend, Bowie Holmes, still lives in Cape Harbor. Brooklyn hasn’t quite been able to forget him: not since the night they spent together—the same night they both lost Austin. Separated by tragedy and guilt, they’re brought together by the Driftwood project. And as they rebuild the inn, they discover they’re also rebuilding something else.
Brooklyn’s always been desperate to move on, not knowing that she first needs to reconcile past transgressions. She can’t forget, but she can forgive—Austin, Bowie, and herself—on her way toward long-awaited happiness.

Excerpt
Instead of heading straight to the Driftwood Inn, Brooklyn detoured and drove down Third Street. This was the only town she had ever lived in or visited that hadn’t had a Main Street. It was such a random thing she picked up on when she and her parents moved here years ago. She never understood why until she learned that when the town incorporated, the people counted the streets up from the harbor, numbering instead of naming, with First Street being the closest to the water.
Curiosity filled her. For years she had not asked questions about her favorite spots, mostly to avoid the feeling of being homesick, but also so she could forget. The less she knew, the better. The less she longed to return, the easier it would be to create a new life. That was what she needed to do: start over, put the past behind her, and move on.
At the red light, she closed her eyes. It only took her seconds to tell Carly she would come back, even though, deep down, it wasn’t what she wanted to do. Yet, she owed the woman and could never tell her no. Brooklyn was content with the life she was living. She was one of the most sought-after home renovators, with homeowners paying her top dollar to come to them, to transform their visions into their dream homes. Her job afforded her many luxuries, except roots. She didn’t rent a home, let alone own one. Each town became her stomping ground, until the next job came in. She traveled thousands of miles, back and forth across the country, leaving her mark everywhere she went.

A stranger waiting in the dark.
A ritualistic attack.
A wrongful arrest.
After surviving an attempt on her life, Kennedy moved to Vermont in hopes of putting the nightmare behind her. The police assured her the assailant was behind bars. They were dead wrong.

Launching a full-fledged manhunt, the police called me in. My name is Reed Chandler, and I’m an expert on tracking the behavior of the deranged. It doesn’t take long for me to realize it all traces back to Kennedy. The killings are carving a path across the country, leading straight to her.
Determined to keep her safe, I refuse to leave her side. Am I getting too close? Losing myself in the alluring charms of the school teacher? I don’t care. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. Let the killer come. The tables have turned, I know his plan.
What he doesn’t know is that I’m a trained killer... and now I’m on the hunt.

Excerpt
Her eyes blazed with anger. “Why didn’t John tell me this could be done?â€
“Because he doesn’t know,†I answered. “Not many people do. We use special government technology. With only a handful of people knowing how to access the satellites. Even so, we can’t figure out every single murder case. There’s just not enough time in the world. It’s important we keep this knowledge contained otherwise it could be used against us.â€
She scoffed. “So what you’re saying is that in order to get the special treatment, I have to be someone high up? Like the president or someone with a butt ton of money?†Her hand shook and I could see the rage behind those hazel eyes of hers.
All in all, she was right, but I couldn’t tell her that. But mostly it was because of the safety issues of this type of technology getting into the wrong hands. “That’s not what I’m saying, Kennedy,†I said, hoping to deflect her anger and not sounding like I’m appeasing her. “I’m sorry this happened to you, but I’m here to help. Even looking at the satellites doesn’t guarantee we’ll find the killer. It takes a lot of calculated guesses and that’s where I come in. I go with my gut.â€
She blew out a frustrated breath and her eyes softened. “I’m sorry. I wish you knew how hard this was for me.†I understood what she was going through as I’d seen it time and time again. Being a victim, and trying hard not to be one is exhausting and I could see it was taking its toll on her.
I placed a hand over hers, and something about it felt right. “We’re going to find that piece of shit, I promise. Once my package gets delivered today, I’ll set up the cameras around your property so we can keep an eye on everything while we’re gone. And as soon as we get to Wyoming, I’ll use every single resource I have to figure this all out.â€
Standing up straighter, she lifted her chin and nodded. “Good. And I want to be right there to help you.â€
She looked at me expectantly and I narrowed my gaze, wondering what she had on her mind. I already knew it was something she wanted to keep from John. Didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing, but I had a feeling it was the latter. “Yeah, about that. What do you want exactly?†I asked.
Her eyes darkened. “I’m not waiting for that psycho to hunt me down again. I want you to teach me how to kill. That way, the next time I see him, he’ll be on the receiving end and not the other way around.†She looked down at the river, her body tense. “I want to look him in the eyes when I kill him. You’re the only one who can help me get away with it.â€
Yep, it was definitely the latter. I stared at her in disbelief, but also in complete awe. I could get into some serious trouble for helping her. Was it good to give in to revenge? No, but in her case, I’d be the same way if someone killed my mother. She deserved to get her revenge and the killer deserved everything she could dish out and then some.
If it was anyone but Kennedy, I wouldn’t do it. But for her, it would mean closure — I could see that now.
The decision was made.

Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod. Bayside Summers is a series of standalone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, and easy to relate to.
In BAYSIDE FANTASIES… Tegan Fine has never had a plan—life, business, or otherwise. But she’s always had goals—to laugh daily and to pay it forward as often as she is able, just like her favorite uncle always did. After inheriting her great-uncle’s amphitheater, Tegan makes a risky move to a charming small town on Cape Cod to carry on her uncle’s legacy and hopefully expand the business with her new friend, Harper. Unfortunately, those goals aren’t doing much to help her plan a business strategy for her new endeavor. With Harper counting on her and her uncle’s legacy at stake, she swears off all distractions, determined to succeed. If only she could stop bumping into a certain arrogant, witty, and excruciatingly hot businessman who tweaks her nerves and invades her every thought. Including her late-night fantasies. Self-professed workaholic Jett Masters never slows down. He lives life with no attachments—except to his clients, to whom he gives his all. A reluctant trip to his hometown has him itching to shake the ghosts of his past and get back to spinning deals and adding to his investments. But when he comes face-to-face with a gorgeous, handsy woman who is quite possibly the snarkiest and most disorganized person he’s ever met, sparks fly, and his sharp mind stumbles. He doesn’t even know her name, but he can’t get her out of his mind. A chance encounter turns into a wild, sexy night, and their chemistry is off the charts—even if their ideals, and their lives, are worlds apart. Neither Jett nor Tegan is looking for more. Becoming friends with benefits seems like the perfect solution. But when they are trapped together in torrential weather, they work side by side in the aftermath, and every passionate kiss deepens their connection. Secrets are shared, trust is built, and no promises dare be made. As their lives move on, lines begin to blur, hearts get hurt, and their true selves come into focus. Tegan and Jett are left wondering if they make the perfect storm, or if they’ve reached the end of their bayside fantasy.

I hate secrets. They ruin people’s lives and end relationships. Too bad I picked a job that’s full of clients with skeletons in their closet. None of that bothers me because I can compartmentalize. Keep the required boundaries in tact. Until she shows up on my doorstep.
She’s the one person that can make me forget the rules of the brotherhood. The only person I would even consider doing that for. Problem is, she has one secret that’s a game changer. And it’s one I’m not sure I can forgive.
Scarlett…
I can take care of myself. Or so I thought. I never expected to need his protection again, but that doesn’t change the facts. I do need him, more than I ever have before. But when he finds out my secret, will he still be willing to protect me?
I fell in love with him the first time I met him, and despite walking away and staying gone for four years, my feelings haven’t changed. Nor has the explosive chemistry between us. I’m just not sure he feels the same or if I’m just another client.
The Broken Rebel Brotherhood series consists of three complete stories with guaranteed HEA’s. All three books can be read as a standalone. Each book contains subject matter that some may find disturbing. Reader discretion is advised.

Excerpt
“Aiden,†Miss Slater repeated. “Do you know a Miss Scarlett Runyon?â€
My whole body tensed at the name. “What’s this about?â€
“Please, answer the question Mr… Aiden.†Miss Slater’s voice was tinged with frustration.
“Yes, I know her.†Images of Scarlett filtered into my brain. “At least, I did.†I hadn’t seen or spoken to her in four years. There was that one text, but other than that, radio silence. I’d spent a lot of that time trying to find her. I told myself—and the other members of the BRB—that it was because I wanted to protect her, but that had been a bald-faced lie. What time I hadn’t spent trying to locate her, I’d spent trying to fuck her memory away.
“I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but Miss Runyon was admitted several hours ago and is currently in emergency surgery.†Her words settled in my gut like a lead weight.
“Emergency surgery? What the hell happened?â€
“I think it would be best if you came to the hospital to discuss the particulars. Are you able to come in?†The way she said that, it was like she was keeping something from me. Something important.
“Uh, yeah.†My hand absently threaded through my hair. I mentally calculated how long it would take me to get there and then added twenty minutes to give me time to shower and wash away last night’s debauchery. “I can be there in an hour.â€
“Thank you, Mr. Winters.†I couldn’t have corrected her even if I’d wanted to. So many scenarios played out in my mind, none of them good. “When you arrive, please let the front desk know you’re here and they’ll page me.â€
“Got it.â€
“See you soon, Mr. Winters.†With that, she hung up.
I stuck my phone out in front of me and stared at the screen for a moment. After several seconds, I shook my head, as if to shake the answers loose to the million questions I had.
When the haze of confusion lifted, I grabbed clothes from my dresser and went to shower. I let myself linger under the spray a little longer than necessary, trying to get my swirling thoughts under control. It didn’t work.
As I drove Calypso, my bike, to the hospital, all of my questions resurfaced.
Why did Scarlett need emergency surgery?
Why was she back in Indiana?
Where had she been the last four years?
And more importantly…
Why the fuck was the hospital calling me?

Excerpt
Just as I’m turning the page in my book, someone yells, “Watch out!†Unsure of where the voice is coming from, I look to the left and then to the right, but before I can grasp what’s happening, the circular object hits my hand, and my book flies out of my grasp and into the water.
“Shit! I’m so sorry.†A half-naked guy comes running over, sand kicking up around him as his strong legs pound into the ground. The closer he gets, the more of him I’m able to see, and holy shit, do I like what I see. Messy brown hair I could picture running my fingers through, tanned, smooth skin I would enjoy kissing and licking, and if I’m feeling frisky, biting.
My eyes rake over his tattooed, sculpted chest and down to his abs. Two-four-sex… I mean six. God damn! Look at that six-pack. He must work out, probably several times a day. Damn, I’d love for him to work me out…
As he jogs over, his corded arm muscles flex, making it appear as if the ink on his arms is coming alive, and I briefly imagine holding on to those arms while he fucks me good and hard. He runs past me, and I follow his every move. When he bends over, I check out his butt that’s hidden under his low-hanging board shorts as I fantasize about my legs wrapped around his waist and my heels digging into that butt…
But then he turns around, and in his hands is the now sopping wet copy of Wuthering Heights, and I instantly snap out of my lust-filled thoughts.
“Here you go,†he says sheepishly, the soaking wet book dangling from his fingers. Drops of saltwater fall down and land on my knee. My eyes meet his, and just as I’m about to snap at him, the corner of his mouth lifts into a nervous smile, and a single dimple pops out on his cheek, and once again, I’m momentarily distracted by just how good-looking he is.
“Thanks so much.†My reply drips with sarcasm. Taking the book from him, I examine the saturated, ruined pages, and mumble, “At least it wasn’t my mom’s copy.â€
“I’m Keegan.†His half-smile turns into a cocky grin. Oh, hell, no…
“I’m not interested.â€
He throws his head back with the most beautiful laugh I’ve ever heard. It’s raspy and deep and sexy. My eyes land on his Adam’s apple, and my tongue darts out, wanting to lick down his throat.
“Fair enough.†He nods. “I really am sorry about the book.†His gorgeous forest green eyes meet mine. “Can I do something to make it up to you?â€
“Like sleep with me?†I give him a playful smirk. I haven’t slept with many guys, but I’ve had a couple one-night stands over the last few years. My way of lashing out over my mom’s death.
“No.†He shakes his head. “We’ve already established you’re not interested. Although, I think, based on the way you were eye-fucking me on my way over here, I could probably convince you otherwise.â€

“How long since you stepped away from your work and took five minutes for yourself, Paige?†Whispering, I pull her closer to my body, my hands on her ass. Making her feel what she’s doing to me. Her body arches, pressing against my cock, a soft moan slipping from her lips.
“That’s right. Imagine what this will feel like. You will be more than moaning.†Running my tongue up her neck, I go back to kissing her, but this time I take it slow. Starting along her jawline until I find her lips open, taking in the sensations.
“Embrace what you’re feeling. Let me in.†With that, I’m kissing her relentlessly, deeply and full of everything I want her to understand, and finally acknowledge. It’s like I’ve got one chance to get her to listen. She doesn’t seem to listen to my words, but she can’t ignore the feelings.
Slowly, I’m pulling away from her lips. Sensing her melting into my arms, finally. Her head dropping and resting on my shoulder, giving me her body weight. Such a relief. Maybe I’m getting through to her.
“Mason, we can’t do this. You have my body aching for you, but my head keeps saying stop.†Her voice is low and not the normal confident woman I’m used to.
“That’s because your head is a stubborn pain in the ass. Ignore it, just listen to your body for once. You can’t tell me this doesn’t feel right.†I slide my hand around her body and up her chest. Slowly, so she knows what I’m doing and giving her time to say no, I palm her breast. Lightly wrapping my hand around it, squeezing slight pressure, just enough to have her breathing racing.
“This is what your body wants. To feel, to be touched. Tell me you want this, Paige, and I promise you won’t regret one second of it.†She doesn’t need to speak, her wandering hand on my body’s the answer.
“I might want it, but it doesn’t mean I can have it.†Her hand glides over my cock, and I grit my teeth to stop from thrusting my hips into her hand.
“You keep touching me like that, baby, and you are going to have it all. Stop denying yourself what feels so good.â€
“There is so much here to feel.†Looking down at her cheeky smile, I can see the lust is invading the sensible brain. Thank fuck.
“That’s it, baby, stroke my ego.†My hand moves down her body.
“I’m stroking more than your ego, Mason.†The words on her lips have me humming while her hand’s squeezing my aching cock just that little bit tighter.
“Call it what you want as long as you keep stroking.â€
My hand cups between her legs. Her body jumps a little with the touch, mouth dropping open and her head falling back. Oh yeah, baby, you’re getting all the feels now. Deliberately starting to rock her body so she’s grinding on my hand.
“Take what you want. Tell me what you need.†My head’s spinning with anticipation of where this is heading.
“To forget it all.†Her eyes are now closing as she slips into that land of just pure sensations.
“Now that I can do. The only thing you won’t forget is that it’s me making you feel this way.â€
She gasps as I quickly move my hands to under her ass and lift her into my arms. Her legs wrap around my waist perfectly. Backing her up against the wall, I lean into her and start grinding my cock into her. Hearing the little moans from each movement is pure bliss. Light as a feather in my hands, I release one and slide it down the front of her pants, so happy to feel her softness and the wet pussy waiting for me. I take over the stroking with my hand rather than my grinding.
“Mhmm, you’re so wet. All for me. Just thinking about it has you dripping, wanting more. Tell me you want more, Paige.â€
“More, don’t you fucking stop now. Finish what you started.†Desperation from a woman on the edge of orgasming. Music to my ears.
“You really are a Tiger, aren’t you. Just what I like, feisty and sexy as fuck.†As she tries to open her mouth to argue with me, I slip my finger deep inside her. Instead of words a low groan comes out her mouth. My thumb pushes down on her clit and she starts riding my fingers as I’m slipping the second one in.
“So perfect, ride me, take all the pleasure you need.†Pink flush creeping up her face, I’m feeling her muscles starting to contract on my fingers. She’s so close to letting go.
