Tea Leaves and the Texan (Sea Stars and Second Chances #2)
Juliet Brilee

Texas Special Agent Colt Lawson is on leave following a disastrous undercover operation. While recovering from an injury sustained in the line of duty, he grows to appreciate the unusual group of people who call the Sea Star Inn and Cottages home. The sleepy key on the southwest coast of Florida is the perfect place to hunker down and rehab, until a beautiful woman leases the cottage next door.
Digital artist, Emily Matthews, is all about playing it safe. Following a meeting with a fortune teller, the logic-loving lady books a room at an inn promising serenity and spa services. All is not the storybook charm she saw in the photos. She’s not ready to love again, but the stranger in the cottage next door may crack the code to her heart.
When a suspicious couple rents one of the cottages, Colt recruits his beautiful neighbor to help. Now his mission is to protect the people he’s grown to care about, even if it means risking his job, and his heart.
