She’s broke, burned out, and one bad decision away from disaster. He’s a disgraced ex-celebrity hiding from the world and determined to need no one. Bethany When I return to Oakwhi te Bay for the summer with an empty bank account and nowhere else to turn, taking a job as assistant to Spencer Larson-Perry feels like I’m sacrificing myself to Satan. My new boss is a reclusive former Hollywood heartthrob with a filthy mouth, haunting eyes, and a body that makes me want to misbehave. The rules are simple: keep an eye on him, keep things professional, and absolutely do not fall into bed with the off-limits man whose pool house I’m now calling home. But in a small coastal town where privacy is a myth, resisting the tension crackling between us might be the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Spencer I’m supposed to be rebuilding my life, not obsessing over the younger woman hired to keep me out of trouble. Bethany is all sharp wit, stubborn spirit, and dangerous curves. Every sarcastic quip and glance feels like forbidden foreplay. I don’t do commitment. And I refuse to stand in the way of the life she’s planned. But the more she tears my walls apart, the clearer it becomes this was never just lust. This is the kind of feeling that could ruin us both. The real danger isn’t the scandal. It’s what happens when two wrongs start wanting something right. Swept Away is a spicy small-town forbidden romance featuring forced proximity, celebrity-in-hiding, age gap, slow burn tension, sharp banter, emotional angst, and a deeply satisfying happily ever after—perfect for readers who love Melanie Harlow, Devney Perry, Elsie Silver, and K.A. Tucker. Show more
