From USA TODAY bestselling author Megan Matthews comes a romance with a protective SEAL and the new girl in town.

Can Crispin carry Stella's baggage and earn her heart, or will they both end up swimming with the fishes?

I took a chance on this small coastal town when my service as a Navy SEAL ended. Stopping the local drug trade is an adventure, but the true fun doesn't start until I meet the hottie across the street. She's far removed from the crime problem, and I plan to keep it that way.

After finding her fiancé in bed with her best friend, Stella needs a quiet escape to figure out her next move. No one warned her she won't find it in Pelican Bay. She isn't planning to put down roots, but I won't make leaving easy.

Throw in the notorious bakery girls and sparks will fly, too bad they're from gun fire. As lives converge, unknown enemies come in from sea, and nobody is safe anymore.
