As if dealing with personal tragedies wasn't enough, Evan Love's beachside tourist shop is mysteriously failing, and as the youngest brother in the family, he feels extra pressure to succeed. When he "copies" marketing tactics from a rival shop owner in desperation, the sexy owner tells him in no uncertain terms to back off. Intrigued by her spunk and charm, his initial attempts to apologize fail—but will winning her over end up leaving both their shops and her reputation in ruins?
Dusti Matson has been burned by men one too many times, and she's not about to succumb to Evan Love's charming frat boy persona. She's got a successful business to run, an ex giving her grief, and plenty of worries over a string of burglaries hitting shops in the area. Yet, as she gets to know Evan better and learns he's not just another handsome guy with an ego, her defenses are in danger of crumbling—but if it comes to a choice between success and love, which will she choose?
Author Bonnie Vane’s award-winning stories, poems, articles, and novels have appeared in dozens of national and regional publications and anthologies. Writing under various pen names, Bonnie enjoys stretching her literary wings across different genres.
She thinks she may have been a mariner in a former life because she’s always felt drawn to the sea. Both the Love Brothers series and The Princes of the Potomac series arose out of that awe and love for coastal settings, including her own stomping grounds in and around the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay.
She currently lives in Virginia with her husband and lots of adorable dust bunnies.
