About this listen
Misunderstanding. Miscommunication. Misconception.
Brad hoped the night of fun with the beautiful baker would turn into something more. Too bad she came with drama he didn’t have time for.
Bess wanted to break her streak of bad decisions when it came to men. Too bad the handsome detective was a jerk like the rest of them.
But for Brad and Bess, it would take time… and a crime… to bring them back together. And now they had a chance to put all their misses behind them and discover that the hero they were both holding out for was each other.
A Baytown Boys sub-series.
The Virginia Marine Police and the North Heron Sheriff’s Department keep the county and waterways of the Eastern Shore of Virginia safe. Follow along as they find love.

When introverted cartoonist Remi Stephenson dumps her cheating ex and goes on their Hawaiian vacation solo, even her creative mind can’t imagine being purposely stranded in the ocean…with a handsome, muscular, brave Navy SEAL. Even more unbelievable is the spark between them. Surely this is just rebound hormones. Right? Because who finds their soulmate in the middle of a life-or-death situation? And what would a SEAL want with a curvy, nerdy artist, anyway? Of course, none of those doubts stop Remi and Vincent from making plans to get together back in California, even before they’re rescued.

Six years ago, Maria Romano got her birthday wish—a kiss from Enzo Costa. A man she could never take her eyes off, but who seemed as haunted as her favorite book boyfriends and strictly off-limits. Just one unforgettable moment in the dark and then he was gone. Now Maria is a divorced single mom, moving on and open to romance again. Fatefully, it’s with the new head chef at her sister’s restaurant: Enzo. A gentler man than the one she remembers, yet fire still burns. And a warning still lingers: don’t get too close.
