Blame It On The Bikini

"I cannot wait for more of this series, I want everybody’s backstory and everybody’s happy ever after. And if there’s an empty apartment at Ocean Shores, it’s mine!! " Robin - Goodreads



She'd traded courtrooms for camera clicks. He'd traded affection for acquisition. When sparks fly, will they burn down each other's plans—or light up something real?


Lexie Price ditched her high-stress law career to chase the next great photo—and help her aunt run the most delightfully chaotic beachside apartment complex in Ocean Shores.



Enter Grayson Holt: Harvard MBA, all-business, zero-fun, and laser-focused on selling the building for a massive profit. Lexie’s not about to let that happen—not on her watch.



Before any deal can close, Grayson's sentimental father throws down one unexpected condition: Live at Ocean Shores for a full month.



Suddenly, Grayson is knee-deep in friendly neighbors, sandy chaos... and one infuriating and irresistible photographer. Between Lexie's camera, her stubborn streak, and that pink bikini, Grayson’s carefully structured world starts to unravel. She’s not what he came for. But she might be everything he needs.



And if his heart gets involved? Well, he's going to have to blame it on the bikini.
