Beach Daze (Shore Thing, #4)

She thought she had love under control until he started breaking all her rules.

Jodi was perfectly happy watching everyone else fall in love while she kept her heart on lockdown. And Gabe? He was off-limits from the moment they met. Charming, steady, and ridiculously attractive, he was the kind of man who could ruin her in ways she never knew possible. So she tucked him into the "friend zone" behind a huge wall and tried not to imagine what his hands might feel like on her skin.

But when Gabe starts working alongside her, the distance she's kept suddenly feels impossible to maintain. The tension simmers. The looks linger. And that wall she built? It's starting to crumble with every stolen moment.

Gabe has waited months for his shot with Jodi, biding his time while their connection grew hotter beneath the surface. He knows she's scared to fall, but he's ready to make her feel safe enough to burn. And now that fate's given him the opening he's been craving, he's done holding back.
