Welcome to Pelican Point – Where Love is as Endless as the Ocean

Nestled along Florida’s sun-drenched coastline, Pelican Point is a charming seaside town where romance is always in the air, and passion simmers beneath the surface. In this steamy, multi-author contemporary romance world, love stories unfold in the cozy cafés of Seabreeze Avenue, along the sun-kissed beaches, and beneath the twinkling lights of the marina.

Come for the sunshine, stay for the love—welcome to Pelican Point!

He’s all law and order. She’s sugar and spice. When opposites combust, someone’s bound to get burned.
Julie Harper is sunshine in an apron, serving up sweet treats and sass at her new bakery, Seaside Sweets. She’s got big dreams, a loyal girl gang, and zero time for complicated men, especially grumpy cops who look like sin and scowl like it’s their job.
Marcus King likes rules, routine, and keeping his distance. But Julie? She’s chaos in cupcake form. When a tragedy pulls them together, sparks fly, and one night of heat turns into something neither of them saw coming.
Marcus wants to keep things simple. Julie wants more than a fling. In a town full of nosy neighbors, meddling friends, and second chances, these total opposites will have to decide if they’re willing to risk it all for the sweetest reward.
Just Desserts is a steamy small-town romance featuring a sunshine-sweet baker, a broody cop with a protective streak a mile wide, and enough heat to fog up every window in the bakery. 

Their dogs are in love.
We are definitely not.

I came to Pelican Point with pastel dreams, a flower truck named Petal Pusher, and a golden retriever who’s never met a boundary she didn’t barrel through. Starting fresh sounded great, until I nearly ran over the town’s grumpiest firefighter and his overly disciplined German Shepherd.

Ashe McAllister is hot, humorless, and infuriatingly off-limits. I’m sunshine and sass. He’s smoke and steel. The only thing we agree on? Our dogs need supervised visitation.

But between shared dog playdates, accidental sleepovers, and public bickering that somehow passes for flirting, I’m starting to think there’s more beneath that scowl.

Because under all that broody silence… Ashe is on fire. And I just might be the one getting scorched.

A steamy, hilarious enemies-to-lovers rom-com packed with grumpy firemen, meddling townsfolk, and golden retriever matchmaking magic.

Telling Miles should be easy… except he once joked the only thing he’d ever baby was his bourbon barrel.

Now Emma’s dodging wine tastings, her nosy friends are closing in, and her brothers are acting like she’s part of an undercover sting. When the truth explodes at a neighborhood BBQ, complete with a rogue bottle of sparkling juice and an Instagram live stream, Emma’s sure she’s blown it.

But Miles has a secret of his own, and a plan that just might turn this surprise into their best adventure yet.

A steamy, hilarious, heartwarming rom-com about unexpected joy, unplanned futures, and love that grows in the most unexpected places.
