You Ve Got Love And Lobsters

I return to my small hometown, determined to save my family's restaurant. The Shake N Tail has seen better days, but it's been the Deeb family restaurant for three generations. The old lobster shack has history, and I won't let it go down without a fight. Just when things are starting to look up, trouble walks in. Piercing dark eyes and strong arms kind of trouble. Ben Carlisle. The man looks like he just stepped out of an L.L. Bean centerfold, complete with scruffy strong jawline, broad shoulders, and hands that could span a moose’s antlers. In an instant, my heart beats to a rhythm it hasn’t ever known. While Ben might be a tall drink of Maine-crafted beer, I soon learn that he's my brand-new enemy. Ben's corporate run seafood franchise threatens to put my family's struggling diner out of business. Ben's seafood restaurant is everything I can't stand, and goes against everything I hold dear, right down to its gleaming square footage. Nevermind flannel shirts and hiking boots never made me feel so hot and bothered. Every time I bump into my new rival, I can't fight the way my skin tingles against his touch, or the image in my mind of his large, strong hands caressing my body. He's charismatic, handsome, kind, and his presence makes me want to do things that should never be done with one’s enemy. There’s a lot more at stake than just business, but can I afford to let my heart take the lead? You’ve Got Love and Lobsters is a steamy, small-town, enemies-to-lovers, swoonworthy romance, with a guaranteed HEA. It is the first in the standalone Shipbuilt Shenanigans series. It’s filled with snark, epic Maine scenery, and lots of butter.

Recipe-- add a curvy Sassy Sunshine and a burly Lobsterman Grump together in a one-bed hotel room. Sprinkle in puzzles, tattoos, a baking competition, motorcycles, and an adorable dog. Mix well. Bake until hot and steamy on the inside. I may be the best baker in Shipbuilt, Maine, but to my senator mom, I’ve wasted my life…and my waistline. Mom demands I bring a +1 for her weekend birthday celebration, even though I don’t have a boyfriend or time. My application for the Pastries of the Northeast Competition is my golden ticket to buy Shipbuilt’s bakery, The Cream Puff. I have to perfect my recipes and run my annual cookie-palooza at the bakery. Birch is just one of a thousand tattooed, gruff lobstermen in Maine, right? Wrong, he is the perfect blend of no-nonsense to protect me from Mom's criticisms. But his sculpted body keeps me up at night, wondering how far down that tattoo goes. Solving one problem by being my fake date for the weekend might just complicate things. It's cold outside. The oven’s hot, and I’ve been burned before. He's sworn off romance, I've sworn off men from Maine. What could go wrong? You've Got Love and Cinnamon Rolls is a deliciously steamy one bed, fake dating, curvy girl + hot cinnamon roll hero with a guaranteed HEA. It’s the second standalone book of the Shipbuilt Shenanigans small-town series. The books can be read in any order, but the characters and town drama starts in book 1.

Sam and Hannah only have the holidays to find 'The One'. Their lobster. But instead of being epic, their summer is looking awkward. They must navigate social misunderstandings, the plotting of well-meaning friends, and their own fears of being virgins for ever to find happiness. But fate is at work to bring them together. And in the end, it all boils down to love.
