Seaside Embrace

After long days spent creating striking metal sculptures, Hunter Lacroux likes to unwind with a beautiful woman or two. But a handful of steamy nights with seductive, sharp-tongued Jana Garner leave him wanting something he never expected: more. Jana challenges everything he says and does, and she is unlike anyone he has chased before. A dancer, boxer, actress, and waitress, she is tough, relentlessly organized, and fiercely dedicated, and she has to be to survive her punishing schedule. When it comes to men, though, she has weathered a string of bad relationships, and the only thing she will commit to is not committing. Passion flares every time she and Hunter come together, but the closer he gets, the faster she runs. When Hunter turns on the charm, Jana throws down a challenge she is sure he cannot meet, and to her surprise he steps up, refusing to let her go without a fight. To move forward, she will have to face a hurtful past she has worked hard to outrun, or risk losing him for good. Over a Cape Cod summer, a charming artist and a guarded, driven woman test whether desire can become something real.
