Life was simple: work, surf, tweak the old pinball machine at the bar, rinse off and repeat. Easy, uncomplicated, just how I like it. Then came Greg. One dance with him at the bar my best friend dragged me to, and bam—my chill, solitary world flipped like a dinghy on rough seas. Greg's got the kind of charm that should come with a warning label and surfing skills that could make Poseidon jealous.

With his smile that outshines the Costa Rican sun, and his ridiculous fear of bees, Greg wasn't what I expected. It was meant to be just one magical, toe-curling night, but then came the surf lessons, the late-night talks, and the unexpected thrill of falling for him.

But just as things heat up, I realize Greg's got secrets. Big, splashy secrets. They're swirling around him like a mysterious ocean whirlpool. And me? I've got my own—a shadow from my past that's more menacing than a shark at sundown.

So, here's the million-dollar question: When your new love affair feels like the perfect wave, do you ride it out, or do you bail before you wipe out? Because in this game of running from everything I should be trying to forget, it's not just about staying afloat—it's about not letting the past pull you under.

In the sun-soaked city of San Diego, Ive built a life thats comfortable. But something is missing. Someone, more like. Him. Tommy. While my best friend Samantha is basking in her new life with a husband, a baby on the way, and a new house, Im left pining for the man who didnt want me.

Even as I settle into a routine, avoiding thoughts of him like the plague, my past crashes into my life like a thirty-foot closeout wave. My father, another man Ive tried to forget, is dead. Now, I must leave my coastal haven and journey to the snow-capped mountains of California for the memorial. With my twin sister's intentions shrouded in mystery, I find myself relying on an unexpected ally: Tommy Hillcrest, the pro surfer who once stole my heart.

Leaving the warmth of my home for the icy embrace of the mountains is far from appealing, but with Tommy by my side, I feel I can face anything. As we navigate family drama, buried secrets, and rekindled feelings, I must decide if Im ready to embrace the life I truly want—or if Ill let my family's chaos pull me back into the past.

Murmurs on the mountain is a spicy romance with no cheating and a happily ever after.

Grayson Cardenas is a dangerous man. A sexy, brooding, grumpy man who somehow manages to be an incredible father on the side. Hes absolutely someone I should not be swooning over.

So when I learn he probably has a contract on his life, I realize one thing: Im going to need to get over my wobbly knees whenever hes around because we have to work together.

Sure, I thrive in a world of chaos, but nothing can prepare me for being around him—the gorgeous, dark-haired, bearded felon—excuse me, reformed felon—who barely says a word and yet, manages knocks me into next week.

But one question lingers: if hes so bad, then how in the world does being around him and his adorable son, George, make me feel so good? Can I really resist this man? And more importantly, do I really want to?

With a cast of quirky characters, Sighs by the Sea is a single dad romantic comedy that will have you laughing out loud alongside heartwarming moments. Its a full-length novel that can be read as a standalone with a happily ever after and no cheating.
