About BAYSIDE HEAT
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, always passionate,
and easy to relate to.
In BAYSIDE HEAT...
Drake Savage has always done the right thing, especially
where beautiful and fiercely determined Serena Mallery is concerned-even when
it means keeping his feelings for her to himself. Serena has always wanted more
than what their small town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts has to offer, and
Drake's roots are so deeply entrenched in the Cape, it's all he can do to watch
her pack up her life and move away.
Serena has always had big dreams. As a teenager she dreamed
of becoming an interior designer and marrying smart, musically inclined,
sexy-as-sin Drake Savage. Now she's finally landed a killer job with a top
interior design firm, but though she has spent the last four years working side
by side with Drake, he's never made a move. Four years is long enough for her
to accept reality, and her new job in Boston is the perfect way to move on.
A weak moment leads to sizzling, sensual kisses, opening a
door through which they've both been aching to walk. But Serena's determined
not to give up her shot at the career she's always dreamed of, and Drake has
loved her for too many years to stand in her way. With true love at their
fingertips and a world of unstoppable passion igniting between them, can the
two star-crossed lovers find their way to their happily ever after?

Excerpt
By the time they reached Undercover, she was nibbling on her
lower lip, and that sexy innocence nearly made him detonate.
The lot was packed. He parked at the far end, beneath an
umbrella of trees, and turned toward Serena. She was still staring straight ahead,
her face a mask of apprehension, which tore at his gut. Was it him, or was it
her leaving that was causing her distress?
He took her small hand in his and brushed his thumb over her
warm skin, memorizing it to hold him over when she was gone. The gold chain
sparkled against her sun-kissed skin. “Talk to me, Serena.”
She turned to face him with worry in her eyes. He gently pulled
her across the seat, close enough that he could almost feel her racing pulse
between them.
“Aw, sweetheart, what’s wrong? Are you nervous about leaving?”
“Yes,” she said softly. “And about this.” Her gaze
fell to the bracelet. “It’s gorgeous and sweet, but it’s also confusing.
What does it mean, Drake? On one hand I feel like you’re sending mixed messages
by avoiding me all day and then giving me this…” She ran her finger over the
chain on her hand. “But on the other hand, you don’t owe me an explanation
about what you’re up to at work, and you’ve given me presents before. This
should be no different. But knowing how you feel about me makes it different.”
He touched his forehead to hers and slid his hand to the nape of
her neck, holding her there as he said, “I’m sorry. I told you I was fucked up
right now. I did avoid you today, but only because I can’t stop thinking
about”—making you mine, kissing you, sweeping you naked beneath me and
loving you until you can’t remember why you wanted to leave in the first place—“things
I shouldn’t.”
“Join the club,” she whispered.
His insides flamed at the secret between them. He brushed his lips
over her cheek, and she inhaled a ragged breath. It was so sexy, he did it
again, earning another seductive inhalation. He drew back so he could see her
face, still holding the back of her neck, and she clutched his forearm. Her
breasts rose with each heavy breath, and her tongue slicked over her lips,
making his mouth water. There was no denying the calculated, seductive
move. Nicely played. Their eyes locked, and hers narrowed ever
so slightly, suddenly brimming with confidence, and if he was reading her
right, which he was damn sure he was, also ripe with challenge.
“You’re going to make a liar of me if you keep looking at me
like that.”
“Sometimes a lie isn’t a lie,” she said breathily.
He couldn’t resist pressing his lips to her cheek in a series of
light kisses, telling himself her cheek was safe. If he could just have this
little taste, he could get through the night and figure out how to lock his
desires away again.
Her skin was warm and temptingly soft. She closed her eyes,
barely breathing as he kissed her cheek again and again, so trusting and sweet.
Her fingers pressed into his skin with every touch of his lips, fueling the
battle raging in his head. Just one more. He kissed the tender
dip just below her ear, and she sighed dreamily. Fuuuck.
“Then what is it,” he asked, “if not a lie?”
“It’s a…” she whispered.
She turned her face, and their lips brushed like a breeze
passing over too quickly. The tease ignited sparks beneath his skin. He ran his
hand along her thigh, aching to make her his, though knowing he
shouldn’t even be tempting himself with the kisses he’d already taken.
“A…?” he said as he began kissing her neck.
She arched toward him, holding his head, keeping his mouth on
her neck. Oh yeah. That’s it, baby. Show me you want me. He
opened his mouth and sealed his teeth over her tender skin, sucking hard enough
for her to gasp. He threaded his fingers into her hair, tugging her head to the
side so he could take more of her. Her hand fisted in his hair, pulling
hard—but not pulling away—causing a deliciously erotic sting and
making his cock throb even harder. He needed to break their connection or he
wasn’t going to stop. He’d fought to remain on the right side of the invisible
line between them for years, and he was fucking that up. Sending her mixed
messages only scratched the surface of why he should break their connection.
“It’s a bad idea,” she panted out.
Her words, along with the roar of a motorcycle, crashed through
his reverie. He released her like he’d been burned. “Bad idea. Right.
Sorry.” I’m a fucking prick.
“No—” She grabbed his hand, leaning closer. “This isn’t a bad
idea. That’s what the lie is. We’re not making a liar out of
you. You just had a bad idea in the first place.”
A series of successive taps on the window made them both jump.
“Fuck.” He rolled down his window, and Violet peered in. “Hey,”
he ground out.
Violet’s gaze sailed over Serena, and Drake fisted his hands to
keep from shifting in his seat and blocking Violet’s view of Serena’s
lust-filled eyes, tousled hair, and pert nipples poking against the thin
material of her top.
“You guys coming in?” Violet arched a brow. “Or coming out
here?”
