In SECRETS at SEASIDE...
Tony Black is the hottest surfer on the planet. He travels the world throughout the year and spends his summers on Cape Cod with his friends, at the Seaside cottages in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. He’s got his choice of women, but Amy Maples is the one he wants. Fourteen years ago she was his for an entire summer, until a devastating accident changed everything, and what they had seemed like it had never existed—at least for her.
Amy Maples is as consistent as the day is long. She’s spent summers on Cape Cod forever, she always does the right thing, and she’s spent years trying to reclaim the heart of Tony Black, the only man she’s ever loved. She’s back for a summer of fun with her friends at Seaside, only this year she’s been offered the opportunity of a lifetime thousands of miles away, and she’s decided to try one last time to reconnect with Tony. But having a relationship with Tony means dealing with her past—and dealing with her past may knock her to her knees.
Tour Excerpt:
Caden, Pete, Jamie, and Kurt must have taken Jenna’s
whispers and hot stares as a cue, because they headed up to the bar, and
Jessica, Bella, and Leanna scooted closer to Amy and Jenna.
“How about you put those puppies away before the guys
over at that table drool into their drinks,” Leanna said to Jenna while glaring
at the three handsome, leering men sitting at the next table. They finally
looked away when Bella shot them a threatening stare.
Jenna wrestled her boobs into submission with an annoyed
look on her face. She always acted annoyed about her boobs, but Amy knew it was
a love-hate annoyance. Jenna wouldn’t be Jenna without her boobs always trying
to break free.
“Look at our men up there at the bar.” Bella wiggled her
fingers at Caden. “Pete has his eyes on the drooling men. Kurt and Jamie are
eyeing Leanna and Jessica like they’re on the menu, and Tony...”
“Your men,” Amy corrected her. “Tony’s not mine,
and he looks mad, doesn’t he?”
“Sexually frustrated, maybe. Not mad.” Bella took a sip
of her drink. “But you’ll fix that tonight. I mean, be real, Amy. Who tells a
girl to behave and be careful whenever she goes out if he’s not
interested? Why would he care? And not just that—he always adds that you can
text him if you need him and he’ll come running. Just. Like. Always.”
Amy couldn’t stop the exasperated sound that left her
lips. “You read my texts?” That was the only way she could have known that Tony
always offered to be there if she needed him.
“Duh. Of course I did. Consider it a recon mission. I had
to know what we were dealing with here from his side.” Bella had been pulling
for Amy and Tony to get together as long as Amy had been in love with him,
which was just about forever. She stood and dragged Amy toward the dance floor.
“Come on, sweetie. Time to have some fun.”
The other girls jumped up and followed them. Amy sensed
Tony’s eyes on her before she caught sight of him watching them. It made her
nervous and excited at once. The music blared with a fast beat. Amy’s head was
spinning from the alcohol, and as Bella and Jenna dirty danced up and down her
body, gyrating with their hands in the air, Amy tried to ignore the rush of
anticipation mixing with nervous energy inside her. Leanna and Jessica danced
beside them in a far less evocative fashion that was more Amy’s speed, but she
could no sooner disengage from being the target of Jenna’s and Bella’s sexy
dancing than she could ignore Tony as he moved to the edge of the dance floor.
His eyes raked slowly down her body, making her insides twist in delight. His
jaw muscles bunched as he slid his eyes around the bar and leveled the leering
men at the table a few feet away with a dark stare.
The sexy dancing, the alcohol, and the way Tony was
guarding her like she was a precious treasure—his precious treasure?—boosted
her confidence. Amy rocked her hips to the beat. She closed her eyes, lifted
her hands above her head, and let the music carry her into what she hoped was a
plethora of tempting moves.
“You go, girlfriend,” Jenna encouraged her. “He’s not
going to be able to resist you. You’re drunk, sexy, and ready for action. What
man could resist that?” She wiggled her butt against Amy’s hips.
“Oh, please. He’ll probably never reciprocate my
feelings, which is why I’m seriously considering the job offer from Duke
Ryder.” Never again, anyway. Her chest tightened with the thought.
“No, you are not.” Bella’s eyes widened as she
froze and pointed her finger at Amy, right there in the middle of the dance
floor. “You are not going to move to Australia for two years. You’ll never come
back to Seaside in the summers if you’re in Australia. Can’t you tell
Duke you’ll consider nine months out of the year instead of twelve?”
Duke Ryder was a real-estate investor who owned more than
a hundred properties throughout the world. He was also Blue and Jake’s older
brother. Blue Ryder was a specialty carpenter who had renovated Kurt and
Leanna’s cottage and built an art studio for Jenna and Pete. He’d since become
one of the gang and hung out with them often. Jake was an Army Ranger and
mountain-rescue specialist. Amy had dated Jake briefly last summer, but he was
younger and too wild for her. And…he wasn’t Tony.
“No, I can’t,” Amy answered. “It’s a full-time position
heading up the creation of the new Ryder Conference Center. The conference
center is going to be the focus of international meetings with major
corporations. I think I need to be on-site full-time.” Amy had worked with Duke
on a consulting basis for several years. When Jessica and Jamie had said they were
getting married at the Ryder Resort in Boston, Amy had jumped at the chance to
help plan the event and work with Duke and his staff again. Amy had known that
Duke was negotiating on a property in Australia, but she hadn’t realized he’d
sealed the deal until she’d arrived at the resort two days ago and he’d offered
her a full-time job as director of operations for the Conference Division
Center. She’d never been to Australia, and between all of her friends getting
engaged and summer after summer of wasted energy spent on a man who treated her
more like an adoring brother than a potential love interest, she decided it was
high time she made some changes in her life.
