Descrição da editora
A heated rivalry turns to sizzling passion in this beach town romance by the USA Today bestselling author of No Strings Attached.
In the Florida resort town of Barefoot William, kicking off your shoes and baring some skin is as natural as sneaking under the boardwalk for an ice cream cone and stolen kisses. Laid-back Shaye Cates, whose family owns half the boardwalk, runs their businesses by cell phone under a shady umbrella. But Shaye’s life isn’t all sunshine. The incredibly irksome fly in her coconut tanning oil is steely-eyed Trace Saunders, whose family owns the opposite side of town.
When the two rivals agree to co-run a beach volleyball tournament, the contentious partnership gets all of Barefoot William buzzing. Shaye just wants to play ball, while Trace thinks only of business. But beneath the twinkling lights of the ferris wheel, opposites can attract like surf and sand.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Capulets and Montagues had nothing on the Cates and Saunders families, who own opposite sides of a Florida boardwalk town and live in cold disdain of their neighbors, in Angell's lighthearted contemporary series launch. Shaye Cates is a natural beauty, happiest in shorts and flip-flops, who runs her family's faltering businesses from the beach on the Barefoot William side of town. Handsome Trace Saunders is rarely seen without a suit as he manages a dignified and profitable real estate empire in a traditional office. A volleyball tournament that straddles both sides of the beach forces them to work together, and instant sizzle leads to inevitable romance, despite disapproval from both families. Other than a secondary romance between Shaye's cousin and Trace's ex, nothing much happens, but Angell does a great job of making the reader feel the sand beneath the characters' toes.
