In the second installment of the Beachy
Bride series, we follow the story of Katherine and Holst. A tale of shaking off
the past, embracing the future, and finding true love. (Stand-alone)
Release Date: July 9th
Blurb
*Warning: this is a love
story with sexual situations and copious swearing. It also
deals with an
inappropriate relationship between an underage girl and a much older
man.
When Katherine Symes
experiences heartbreak at the age of twenty, she picks herself
up, dusts
herself off, and declares no man will ever break her again. The independent,
potty-mouthed Katherine makes no apologies for how she lives her life.
Marriage,
babies, and husbands are ideas she’s never even entertained. There is
only one thing
she’s never had the guts to do.
Open her own cafe.
The day of her best
friend’s engagement, a stranger bulldozes his way into her life.
Handsome,
tall, and annoying as hell, he pushes all her buttons. A mutual
acquaintance
introduces them, and the stranger, Holst Rutherford, wastes no time in
presenting Katherine with half ownership in a coffee shop he wants to open in
Laguna Beach; he just doesn’t want to do it alone.
Can she put up with Holst
to achieve her lifelong dream?
Holst moved to the coastal
town of Laguna Beach with clear intentions: a fresh start,
concentrate on his
new business, and enjoy the beach at his doorstep. After ending a
toxic
relationship, he never considered entering a new one. But there is something
about the ever-combative Katherine which makes him realize she could be much
more than a business partner. She just might be the one.
However, she is going to
need a little convincing.
Teaser
He looked around my bedroom
for some weird reason, then said, “Baby?” He dipped his head so he was right
against my ear. “You aren’t weak, and I’m sure you can take care of yourself,
but I think it’s time you let a man help who will make sure, when all is said
and done, you have someone to walk out of battle with at your side.”
Fuck, I was gonna fall in
love with him, that dirty, sneaky, big-dicked, perfect-mouthed, motherfucker.
Apparently, he got all that
from the look on my face and smiled. “At least you didn’t say what you were
thinking out loud.”
About the Author
Julie
is a Southern California native, a fan of a really good story (preferably
romance with a happily ever after), really good pie (preferably pumpkin) and
copious amounts of coffee (preferably Folgers).
She has always enjoyed writing and at
one time thought she could be a singer songwriter...the 'writer' part is the
one that stuck.
Julie is obsessed with pi...the
equation(and the food). She's allergic to cats and cantaloupe and hates
mushrooms...so if you ever want to give her a gift, those are out for sure.She

Australia.
