Stays At the Shore
Come and Meet Maggie, Connie, and Emma
These three Jersey Girls are in
for the surprise of their lives as love finally drags them
to the altar for their own Happily-Ever-After.
Maggie Sinclair, Connie Reyes, and Emma Grant have been best friends for years. The three women are as different as they come, but that has only helped sustain them during the trying times in their lives, like the marriage of yet another one of their acquaintances. As they stand at the altar, always as bridesmaids, they are the only single women who remain from their circle of college friends and business colleagues.
Successful women in their own right, they’re not in a rush to do the dash up the aisle, but Fate has a way of shaking the foundations of their very settled lives.
And then there were three. . .
ONE SUMMER NIGHT was released on October 3, 2017 from Sourcebooks Casablanca. Re-released by Caridad in January 2024.
Maggie Sinclair has been crushing on Owen for years but he’s the one man she can’t have.
There’s been bad blood between the Pierces and Sinclairs for years but Maggie can’t stop wishing things could be different. Whenever she visits her Jersey Shore home, she strolls the sand and remembers the innocent kiss they shared that one special summer night.
Owen has been watching Maggie from afar and when things heat up on the Jersey Shore, it’s hard to resist her temptation. Even if it risks angering his father who refuses to give up the feud with the Sinclairs.
When Owen learns Maggie’s business is in trouble, he jumps in to help. The marriage bargain they strike seems to be the perfect way to solve their problems until their love deepens and it all unravels before their eyes.
Is it possible for Maggie and Owen to break free of their families’ past and find happiness or will that bargain prove to be more than they can handle?
And then there were two. . .
WHAT HAPPENS IN SUMMER was released on June 5, 2018. Re-released by Caridad in January 2024.
Connie Reyes grew up watching her single mom work tirelessly to raise her. She promised herself she would never fall into the same situation. But when she bumps into the way too tempting Jonathan Pierce at a wedding, it’s hard to resist his charms. She’s scared she’ll fall for him –again — and he’s not the kind to stick around.
Jonathan’s been haunted by memories of Connie ever since he left town after their failed summer romance. After returning to the Jersey Shore, he’s determined to show Connie how much he’s changed. But when their passion ignites, can it become something more permanent, especially when it leads to a surprise that neither of them saw coming…
And then there was one. . .
NEVER A BRIDE was released on Janury 21, 2020.
Emma never dreamed that the happily-ever-after would change her life. . .
But as her two best friends find love, Emma worries about what her future will bring. She has seen all too often what happens once husbands and children arrive. She puts on a brave face because she wants her buddies to be happy, but as a wedding planner, she has seen one too many marriages gone sour. Not to mention her parents’ bitter divorce which has soured her on the idea of marriage for herself. She can’t imagine ever finding a man who can bring her a forever kind of romance.
He’s been in love with her forever and can’t understand why she can’t see it. . .
Carlo da Costa knows why Emma avoids relationships and yet he can’t help but wonder how someone who puts such love and care into others’ dreams can’t allow herself to believe in the fairy tale. He sees the yearning on her face when she spends time with him and his big boisterous family and knows that deep inside, she wants the same thing. Carlo hopes that one day he can provide her with that because he’s sure Emma holds the key to his heart in her hands.
