Enzo Russo

I never thought after spending a week in Coral Pointe with my cousin, helping at his friends' wedding, that I'd be back in this small town. Life in Sacramento is already lonely, but when my mom finds out my secret and uses it to hurt me in the worst way, all I want is to be where acceptance and love are as vast and dependable as the horizon. The place where the most beautiful hazel eyes I've ever seen are only a town away. Evian, the gorgeous, funny, suit designer from Barrett's Port, has unexpectedly weaved his way into my life. The question is, can he mend this gaping wound in my heart, or will one pull on the wrong thread unravel my life completely?

Evian Skye

Young and gullible. That's what I'd convinced myself I was after finding out what my much older ex-boyfriend was really doing behind my back. It took years for me to stop blaming the hearts in my eyes for obstructing my ability to see the snake he really is. Only a cold-hearted person would do that to me, knowing the heartbreak I was already facing. So when Enzo, a gorgeous out-of-towner, stops in my shop for a suit, I push aside any attraction for him, as I'd done with every man over the last few years. There's no harm in being his friend, though, right? The problem is, there's a sadness in his brown eyes I just can't seem to forget. I'm not ready to level up our friendship to something as dangerous as love. So why can't I stop dreaming about Enzo's embrace?

We're going back to Coral Pointe in this Shore Thing spinoff!

What happens when a bet between best friends takes an unexpected turn?

Ty and Spencer have been best friends for six years. A constant in their relationship are the frequent, and sometimes extreme, bets they make with each other. No matter what, they both know they'll hold up their end of the bargain.

After Ty witnesses something he wasn't meant to see, he starts to look at Spencer in a different way. When another outrageous bet is made between them, Ty begins to wonder if this will be his opportunity to get something he never knew he wanted.

Will upping the ante on their friendship be the payout they never dreamed possible? Or will laying all their cards on the table cost them everything?
