Hot Mess Summer

From New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster comes a funny, sexy romantic comedy featuring a twice-divorced, stressed-out romance writer who finds out that sometimes true love can be a hot mess.

Who buys a cottage in a New England fishing village on a whim? A stressed-out, twice-divorced romance writer and single mother looking for a fresh start, thatÂ’s who. Despite what my besties say about my three-year dry spell, IÂ’m not looking for a man. Or drama. Or sex. IÂ’ve got enough on my plate with writerÂ’s block and a daughter who refuses to grow up. Community. ThatÂ’s what I need. Unfortunately, it seems the universe has other ideas. Either Chatemup, Massachusetts, has a serious shortage of single women, or IÂ’ve become a hot mess magnet for the male species.

At least I’ve found one funny, good-hearted friend: fish peddler Declan Miller, my brainstorming adventure buddy who stirs my creative juices. I’m his Writer Girl. He’s my Dimple Dude. Just scruffy, granite-chested, deep-voiced, ex-military brawn who happens to be—oh, Nicole, what are you doing to yourself?—stoking a long-neglected fire without even trying.

A self-confessed hot mess, divorced single dad Declan is too old for relationship games. Not interested. Same here. So why do I keep thinking about him? Preferably naked. Because IÂ’m a hot mess, too? At least heÂ’s inspiring me to write. If only real life were like one of my novels. At least then IÂ’d have a better idea of how this was going to end.
