"Zoe's story"

Zoe Costas is almost thirty, still lives with her parents and is starting a brand new security company with her brother-in-law Quinn. She also looks forward to her parents adopting Samantha, the teenager her parents took in. The adoption is put in jeopardy when she meets Ryan Baldwin a stuffy New Englander who claims that Sam is his niece.

Ryan arrives at the Costas' house as they are throwing a birthday party for his niece. He has thoughts of rescuing his niece but instead learns that his niece is in a happy environment, even though the woman who wants to adopt Sam looks like Morticia Adams. What makes things even more difficult is that he cannot keep his hands off of Sam's soon to be sister Zoe.

When someone starts stalking Sam, Zoe and Ryan work together to find out who is behind it and why and try and fight the magnetic attraction between them.

SUMMER LOVIN' is part two of the series featuring twins Arianna and Zoe. In SUMMER LOVIN' Zoe is at a crossroads in her life and doesn't think she has room for a relationship but Ryan is hot and sexy even if he is a stuffed shirt. You also get a chance to revisit the wonderfully eccentric Costas family. SUMMER LOVIN' is a blast and will have the reader so engrossed in the story that they will be crazy for Zoe and Ryan.
