Steamy Days. Pelican Lake, #1

Ashley has always spent her summers at Pelican Lake, helping in her family's little general store. She's used to the tourists who pass through-families, couples, weekend warriors-but Jared is different. Dark-haired, gray-eyed, and carrying scars he doesn't talk about, he's a man who makes her heart skip and her thoughts wander. Jared came to the lake to escape. To heal. To finally put the pieces of his life back together.
Romance wasn't part of his plan, but Ashley's easy smile and open heart are impossible to resist. What begins as friendly conversation quickly sparks into late-night talks, shared sunsets, and the kind of passion that makes both of them dream of more. But Jared's demons linger, and Ashley has choices to make about the future waiting for her beyond the lake. One summer changes everything in Steamy Days, a sizzling small-town romance filled with heat, hope, and the courage to believe in love again.
