Redneck Riviera

Ray Dobbs came to the beach with a trash bag full of secrets. Falling in love wasn't supposed to be one of them.

In Hatchet Creek, Georgia, everybody knows Ray's business. Or thinks they do. At twenty-eight, she's still slicing deli meat, paying her mother's bills, and hiding the dream that could finally give her a life of her own.

When her best friend's wedding falls apart, Ray joins a Gulf Shores vacation in a borrowed church van. She's packed a secret salon interview alongside her swimsuit. She hasn't planned on sharing a pirate-themed bunk room with Boone Tatum.

The quiet mechanic has come home to care for the grandfather who raised him. He can fix almost anything with an engine. Saying what he feels is harder. But between sunrise fishing trips, kitchen haircuts, and a loggerhead nest on the beach, Ray starts to see more than the man everybody back home talks about. Boone starts to see a future he actually wants.

Then a humiliating video puts their budding romance in front of an audience, and old wounds turn into words neither can take back.

With a new career within reach and a storm bearing down on the coast, Ray has to decide what belongs in the life she's building. Boone has to learn that showing up is only the beginning.

Redneck Riviera is a funny, tender Southern romance with slow-burn kisses, meddling friends, and a heroine determined to stop letting her hometown tell her who she is.
