Hemingway Shore

Sometimes, to find your story, you have to stop writing it.Sam Thorne is a man who lives by the deadline. A high-powered Manhattan author with a life curated for success, he's never met a moment he couldn't improve with an adjective. But when a career-ending disaster sends him to the remote, salt-sprayed town of Duck, North Carolina, he's forced to trade his laptop for a life he never planned.Annie Vance is the B&B owner who just wants to keep her roof from caving in and her peace of mind intact. She doesn't need a hotshot visitor from the city, and she certainly doesn't need a man who looks at her life like it's a rough draft. But as the salt air and the rhythm of the tide begin to dismantle Sam's "e;New York armor,"e; he finds himself doing something dangerous: he's falling for the woman who owns the house, the dog, and his heart.When a misunderstanding threatens to turn his quest for a new beginning into a betrayal of the only person he's ever truly seen, Sam must decide what matters more: the story he's been telling the world, or the woman he's finally learned to live for.
