Welcome
to The Buoys, a West Coast haven where love comes in with the tide. Perfect for
readers of Jill Shalvis and Susan Mallery, the Fishing for Trouble series
features three unforgettable brothers—each of whom is a great catch.
Major league pitcher Liam O’Donnell knows his best days are probably behind him, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to retire and become a fishing guide. Still, after all the time he’s spent chasing his dreams, he owes it to his brothers to pull his weight around the lodge. The Buoys is their father’s legacy, and they can’t let some developer take it from them. The one snag Liam isn’t counting on is a blast from the past: his ex-wife.
The moment Kate Hadley steps out of the seaplane, she knows this assignment is going to be trickier than she thought. She has to persuade the owners to sell—and one of them is Liam O’Donnell. Ten years ago, she made the biggest mistake of her life when she married Liam during a fling in Vegas. Now he’s her only lifeline in the middle of nowhere. Kate’s trying to keep things cool, but Liam just reminds her of the scorching few nights they spent together—and tempts her to make new memories that are just as steamy as the old.

Excerpt:
They were almost
to her cabin when she shocked the hell out of him by slipping her hand under
his arm and nudging his shoulder with hers.
“You’re still
a hotshot pitcher, you know. Don’t talk about that in the past tense.”
Liam blinked
hard, then leaned in and pressed a slow kiss against her cheek. Half an inch,
that’s how close he was to those soft, warm lips he remembered all too well,
but no matter how much he ached to taste them again, he forced himself to pull
back and smile down at her.
Besides his
agent—who didn’t count, because Liam paid him to say it—Kate was the first and
only one to even suggest he might have something left, and if she’d said it any
other time or any other way, he might not have believed she was sincere.
But looking at
her now, with her foot up on the porch, ready to go inside, there wasn’t the
slightest trace of doubt in her eyes, just those damn bits of amber flickering
like little beacons.
“I, uh . . .”
Blowing out a hard breath, Liam shoved both hands through his hair, locked his
fingers together, and took a step back. “I better go. It’d really screw things
up here if we woke up married tomorrow.”
“Right. Good
thinking,” she said, her mouth curling into a slow, knowing smile. “’Cause I promise you this, I won’t be
nearly as nice the next time you divorce me.”
