Sweet home Sea Breeze, Alabama...

Larissa Hardy is no one special. She's just the next woman in her family to have a baby with a deadbeat boyfriend. Recently, she's moved back in to take care of her twelve month-old daughter and poor, but spiteful mother. With no job, a demanding mother, and the father of her child threatening a custody battle that she can't afford, Larissa has no time for anything even remotely fun. Not even a high school crush.

Ashton "Ash" Graceon is one of the best bareback riders Alabama's ever seen. And the hottest. When a rodeo brings Ash back through his hometown he's not too happy. Ash has everything he wants. The world at his feet, gorgeous women in his hotel rooms, and after the championship, a trophy and a title. Ash is on the road to winning it all, until a certain blonde crosses his path.

Although a relationship is out of the question for the both of them, the two can't seem to shake the pull they have to each other. Sea Breeze is the place to be if you want a second chance at anything. Could this be Larissa's second chance at her future and Ash's second chance to rethink his?

Ashlyn hasn't spoken a word since the age of eight, and her heart's never felt more protected. But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long... Derek Moreno is charming and devoted, and quick to see through every wall Ashlyn erects. With his arrival in town, defences fold and walls begin to crumble, the songs of her heart reaching new heights. Together, they crest twin tides of fate, the silence she'd once sought engulfed by his gentle touch, and the whispers of a love thought impossible. For the summer, Ashlyn welcomes the noise. The disruption. But, the ghosts of Derek's past will no longer remain silent, and their deafening power has the potential to drag them both into a current strong enough to drown them amidst their heartache.

Sea Breeze, Alabama is perfect. The sun is hot, but the men are hotter; the tea is sweet, but the women are sweeter. Especially, if your last name is Hardy, Taylor, Falco, Stone, Drake, Corbin, or York. Eli Hardy is your typical southern gentleman. He's sweet, has money, and has the prettiest green eyes any girl has ever seen. That's what you would expect from the son of former rich playboy, Marcus and gorgeous redhead, Willow "Low" Hardy. Bliss York is the complete opposite. Being the daughter of Willow's best friend and former Sea Breeze playboy, Cage York has its privileges. With piercing blue eyes, curves to go for miles, and a million dollar arm that can throw a softball as fast as humanely possible, Bliss should have everything she could possibly desire. Right? Bliss and Eli have almost nothing in common except their families. Raised as close as cousins, Bliss knows she could never get too close Eli. Her father would kill him, but she can't shake the strange pull she has to him and neither can he. Could the small fire kindling between the two friends be what brings their family even closer together or what tears them apart? (Based on the characters created by Abbi Glines)
