Bayside Heat

For four years, Serena Mallery has been Drake Savage's best friend and business associate, and, though he has never dared say it aloud, the one woman he loves with his whole heart. Drake has always done the right thing, especially where fiercely determined Serena is concerned, and doing the right thing has meant keeping his feelings locked away. Serena has always wanted more than their small town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, can offer, and now she has landed a coveted position with a top interior design firm that will pull her away to the city. Drake's roots run so deep in the Cape that all he can do is watch the woman he wants pack up her life and prepare to leave. With her departure looming, the years of easy partnership and unspoken longing between them reach a breaking point, and the question hiding beneath their friendship can no longer be avoided: is Drake too late to tell her the truth, or will one last Cape Cod summer finally give them the courage to risk everything for each other? Warm and funny, it is a story about the love that has been hiding in plain sight.
