Now I’m going through the motions in my coastal tourist town, totally adrift… and trying not to think about the stranger who pulled me from the wreckage.But when I stand up to a super rude customer at the beach bar I work at, my life suddenly flips upside-down. Because that customer is Hopper Donnach: Hollywood heartthrob, certified a-hole, and horrifyingly, player of a character who helped me through my darkest moments. And now? He’s my temporary boss. Hopper is hot-tempered, infuriating, and way too gorgeous for someone who insists on keeping things strictly professional. But under the gruff exterior, I see glimpses of something real. Kindness. Sadness. A secret.I can’t fall for my boss, not when he has the power to shatter my already fragile heart into smithereens. Not when this forced proximity’s going to end almost as soon as it started. And especially not when I realize there’s something more familiar about him than a character I fell for on the big screen. Over & Out is an all-new enemies to lovers romance featuring 'hate to love him', boss-employee, grumpy sunshine, forced proximity and secret identity vibes. It's the third book in the Redbeard Cove smalltown beachside romance series and can be read as a complete standalone. less
