Two Sisters Take on a Beach Town Inn and Locals in This Spicy Sense and Sensibility-Inspired Rom-Com by Nikki Payne

Learning about your father’s secret second family is never ideal—especially during the reading of his will. To make matters worse, Nora Dash’s racy leaked videos have just gone viral. With her reputation in shambles and no father to turn to, all she has left is a forgotten beach house in rural Maine. There are no other Black people for miles, the place is abandoned, but at least no one will recognize her from those videos. Nora and her free-spirited sister Yanne arrive, still wearing last season's designer boots, only to encounter their first problem: a fake park ranger giving tours of their property as if it’s his own—and he’s hotter than the local lobster boil.

Ennis "Bear" Freeman is accustomed to uninvited guests on his land. So when a glamorous city girl shows up with the deed to his unofficial headquarters in hand, he bets she won’t last a week. But soon, they discover they work better together than apart. Nora’s unexpectedly good for Bear’s business, and his own secrets might be what drives them apart.

In this deliciously spicy Sense and Sensibility-inspired rom-com, Nora and Yanne must learn to navigate the challenges of running a dilapidated beach town inn and working with the locals, while unexpected sparks fly.
