ABOUT THE BOOK
Skip McComber, The Gull’s former maintenance man, has been working
on Savvy’s nuts and bolts for years. Now the new owner of the bar next door,
his mission is to renovate a pirate bar while being a walking temptation for
the girl he can’t get off his mind.
For Savvy, keeping her cool running a motel in Florida heat is one
thing, but navigating the steamy waters of a former fling takes a whole other
kind of savvy. In addition to the motel and the man next door, Savvy stumbles
on a plot to swindle land from the residents of Barefoot Key. Devalued
properties tumble like dominoes until Savvy musters her colorful crew from The
Gull Motel to make the pillagers walk the plank.
AN EXCERPT
Day
four of what I had planned as a Gulf Coast vacation had me perspiring in the
pool shed and wondering what I should do.
“Need
any help?”
I
whipped around, blood rushing from surprise and something else. Of course I
knew the voice. Skip McComber leaned against the frame of the open shed door.
Shirtless. Wearing low slung jeans and a grin that registered somewhere between
caution and amusement.
He
looked like a man who knew how to run a pool pump. From experience, I knew he
could handle a lot more than that.
“I’m
fine,” I said, trying for cheerful dismissal in my tone. “Just taking a look
around.”
“Taking
stock of your new property.”
“Temporary
property.”
“Since
it’s your place now and all,” he said, disregarding my comment, “looks like
we’ll be seeing a lot of each other.”
A
mild earthquake rolled under my sternum and sent shockwaves from its epicenter.
Maybe I’d have better luck with the space shuttle launch pad configuration than
I would handling Skip.
“Temporary,”
I repeated.
He
nodded, continuing to appraise me with his look. Perhaps appraisal was too
glamorous a word. He was looking at me like a cat who’d just opened the bird
cage and was wondering how much fun he could have with the bird.
Skip
had been rattling my cage since we were both sixteen. Every time I came to
visit my aunt and uncle for a vacation, an added perk had been the endorphin
boost from their local boy turned maintenance man. A skinny handsome kid, he
had matured every time I came back to the Gull until he was the full-blown man
standing in front of me.
“I
know a lot about fixing things,” he said.
