Beach Reads & Bad Decisions: One Summer. One Boat Captain. One Very Bad Idea. (Forever In Season Collection)

Some vacations are meant to help you escape.

Mallory Ames never expected hers to change her life.

After six years of shrinking herself to fit inside someone else’s expectations, Mallory escapes to the charming coastal town of Seabreeze Cove with one goal: breathe again. No demanding ex. No family pressure. No pretending to be less loud, less emotional, less herself.

Then she falls off a marina dock. Straight into the arms of Noah Collins.

Gruff, steady, and entirely too handsome, Noah is the local charter boat owner carrying the weight of his family business—and a heart he has no intention of risking again. Summer people always leave. He learned that lesson the hard way.
Mallory was only supposed to stay three months.

But between moonlit swims, bookstore festivals, beach bonfires, and kisses that feel dangerously close to forever, Seabreeze Cove starts feeling less like a temporary escape…and more like home.

The problem?

Summer endings have a way of breaking even the strongest hearts.

And when September comes, Mallory will have to decide if she’s finally brave enough to stop running—and if Noah can risk loving someone who might leave.

Beach Reads & Bad Decisions is a steamy small-town beach romance filled with emotional healing, sizzling chemistry, found family, witty banter, vacation vibes, and the kind of love story that lingers long after the last page.
