Genres: Romance/General Fiction (Adult)
Travel writer Allie Sparks has one goal: to find the story that will save her career. So here she is, visiting her bestie on picturesque Crescent Island—with sun-warmed beaches, the briny smell of the ocean, and rumors of a secret astrologer-matchmaker who guarantees love. Of course, Allie doesn’t believe in any of that stuff. If anything, she’ll prove it’s a total scam.
Ryan Parker believes in love—just not right now. He’s focused on expanding his family’s barbeque business, finding investors, and keeping his too-big Great Dane puppy from jumping on everyone, including his sister’s pretty, whiskey-eyed best friend. Besides, falling for a tourist is definitely not in his astrological forecast.
Allie is doing everything she can to resist the charm of the town and its beauty, not to mention her attraction to Ryan. But there’s a lot more happening on Crescent Island than anyone knows…and when her story goes to print, this tiny, close-knit town might never be the same.
Allie has been advised that she needs to improve her view or her career as a travel journalist is at risk. She has decided that Crescent Island might just be the perfect choice especially since it will allow her to spend some time with her friend. She soon learns there is something special not only about the town but also about Ryan, her friend’s brother.
Ryan is content with his life as he is surrounded by people he cares about and is focused on the family business. He isn’t looking for love but sometimes the best things in life happen when you least expect it.
As we get to know Allie it is easy to understand why she is jaded but Ryan shows her that happiness is everywhere and all you have to do is open your heart to the possibilities.
