Life’s a Beach by Rachelle Stevensen

Bria Thomas always thought she was content alone. When she was younger, the teasing from the boys at her school made her realize they weren’t worth her time. She worked with her best friends at a boutique that sold clothes and swimming suits for women of all shapes and sizes. Not only did they sell the clothes, they also modeled them. She loved it and felt powerful and beautiful. When she meets a man that sees her picture in the local paper and declares that she is his, she doesn’t want to believe him. She saw the devastation men like Gareth left in their wake. But Gareth won’t let her run and hide. He is all in. Will she give in?

Gareth Butler grew up with a family that didn’t have roots. They traveled around the country, living off the land and never staying in one place too long. When he is old enough, he decides that enough is enough and wants to settle down. But it wasn’t easy and he never found the place he could call home, until he visits the town of Myrtle Beach, in South Carolina. He knows he is home and when he sees the girl of his dreams in the local paper, he refuses to let her slip through his fingers. He never had a woman to call his, but this one would be. He knew that without a doubt. Will Bria let go of her reservations to let him love her?
