beach beachread lighthearted novella philippines shortreads summer summerromance tropical weneeddiversebooks

A young woman jilted by her ex-fiancé is given a second shot at love when her meddling relatives contrive ways to pair her up with her handsome neighbor in this laugh-out-loud contemporary romance novella that will sweep you off your feet.

After Sophie's long-term boyfriend decides he doesn't want to marry her, she flies back home to her native Philippines with her tail tucked between her legs. Forget romance. With the help of Ninang, her wealthy grand-aunt on her mother's side, she picks her pieces back up and throws herself headfirst into her dream project: opening a coffee shop on the famous beach resort island of Dalisay.

But there's a catch. Ninang agrees to help fund the cost of starting a new business, if and only if Sophie hosts her younger sister, Narra, and their cousin, Layla for the summer. Fresh out of college, Narra and Layla have come to Dalisay for three months of fun and romance, and they refuse to leave Sophie out of it.

Enter Archie Hastings. A smooth-talking, motorcycle-riding Brit, he moved to the island to work at a non-profit and nurse a heartbreak of his own. When Narra indulges in a little too much fun and romance, he's there to help Sophie save the day, only to find himself pulled into a scheme to get Sophie-and by extension, himself-laid.

Sophie just wants to be left alone. But love has a funny way of sneaking up on you, and this summer, on the beautiful sunny island of Dalisay, where the white sand is soft like powder and the blue sea impossibly clear, it might just catch her off-guard.

* * *

"True North is the perfect beach summer read, especially for those who want something short & sweet! I enjoyed every moment; Archie & Sophie's story having me smile from ear-to-ear. I also loved how there was great focus on friendships & sisterhood." - TineTodos los derechos reservados

She's engaged to a dependable man back home... but her heart wavers the second Jack looks at her like he still remembers everything they never said. Thrown together for a weekend of reunions, rehearsal dinners, and long-overdue toasts, old tensions rise fast and so does the chemistry. Jack is no longer the boy she left behind... he's more. He's angry, charming, wounded, and still very much in love with the version of her that used to run barefoot down the beach. Hannah tries to keep her distance. She tries to be polite, composed, the woman everyone expects her to be. But Jack doesn't let her hide. Not from him, not from what still simmers between them. Late nights, stolen glances, and one impulsive kiss under the stars unravel everything she thought was safe. When the truth of her engagement finally comes to light, heartbreak follows. But so does clarity. Forced to confront what she truly wants and it's not what's expected. Hannah breaks away from the life she built out of obligation and fear. And this time, she runs toward Jack.
