Rules of the Ocean

"God, was this ray of burning sunshine blackmailing me?"

Turns out it's tricky to find the bright side when hit by a billionaire's car, but if anyone can find it, it's her.

When eternal optimist Delilah Monroe gets clipped by a gorgeous stranger who runs a stop sign, she loses her scooter, a dozen carefully decorated cupcakes, and most of her patience. Gus Ozar might be grumpy, infuriatingly bossy, and determined to solve every problem with his wallet, but somehow one hit-and-don't-run turns into coffee, trivia nights, accidental pool dives, and chemistry neither of them can ignore.

Delilah knows Gus is a billionaire. What she doesn't know is that he came to Brightside with secrets of his own, and the sunny little town she loves is caught squarely in the middle. The closer she gets to the guarded man beneath the expensive shirts, the harder it becomes for Gus to remember why he came to Brightside in the first place.

And how can you say no to a man offering to take you to Italy? That's right, you can't.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Grumpy billionaire meets relentlessly sunshine heroine
• He falls first, harder, and with absolutely no idea what to do about it
• A meet-disaster involving one stop sign, a yellow scooter, and several destroyed cupcakes
• Small-town beach vibes, fierce female friendships, and found family
• Jealousy, forced proximity, locked closets, and a spontaneous trip to the Amalfi Coast
• A spicy opposites-attract romance with a guaranteed happily ever after

Readers who devoured Things We Never Got Over and Love Redesigned for their grumpy-sunshine heat, The Hating Game and Twisted Love for their falls-first heroes, and Beach Read for its salt-air coastal escape will lose an entire weekend to this one.
