When Lori James' father writes to her for the first time in years her life is literally turned upside down. Inheriting a rundown general store 17,000 kilometres away in Australia, her plan of getting in, selling up, and getting back out again seems simple enough. But accusing the local Police Sergeant, maddeningly sexy Zeb Turner, of shop lifting on her first day in Murfey's Beach, Lori quickly discovers the implications of being on the wrong side of the law. 

Moving on isn't going to be as easy a task as she first thought. Ironically, if Lori wants to get rid of the shop, she's going to have to fight to keep it first. Desperate to win over the colourfully eccentric locals who hold the keys to her freedom, Lori sets about breathing new life into the sleepy old community. 

Temperatures rise and desire sizzles as the residents of the tiny seaside village experience their hottest summer romance in decades.All Rights Reserved

Undertow by K.R. Conway (1st book in trilogy) by Sharkprose

** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.

Regardless of the fact, she is expected to wish time away at a prestige beach resort. In a foreign country. As a lifeguard. Problem is, she can't swim. As if the fact isn't bad enough, she is assigned to be taught lessons from the broody and notoriously rebellious Angel Delgado who only agrees to help her in exchange for one thing.

"You, Clementine, are loud-" He takes another step forward, forcing me to take one backward. "-nosey-" Another step. "and ignorant." He takes one last step and I feel my back hit the wall. I almost think that he may begin to start jabbing at my chest like I did to him but then he hooks his finger around my necklace and slightly tugs at it so that my head is no longer resting on the wall. "You don't listen to instructions-" He tugs me closer. "-you think you're so funny with your smartass-" Another tug. "and you think that you can one-up me in every single situation." He tugs at my necklace again leaving his lips to hover a quarter of a centimetre away from mine. I close my eyes as he closes the gap. It is not a kiss, merely a brush of lips as he whispers into my mouth, "So I don't fucking like you."
