Between the Lines — Ella Linden

For Olivia Marquis, moving back to the small northern Michigan town of Paradise Bay is a new beginning. She's leaving heartbreak, sadness, and everything that once held her down behind. The most important thing she's leaving behind, is trouble. All she wants now is a quiet life surrounded by childhood friends, family, and her art. Paradise Bay is a place where dreams become reality, and she's ready to make something of her life. Of course, the last thing she expected was to be drawn to a man everyone in town warns her against, hopelessly caught up in his dark eyes and quick wit. Andrew Silva, bestselling horror author, veteran, and notorious womanizer, has been living a mostly quiet life in Paradise Bay for the past year. After years of a revolving door of different women in his life, he's decided to swear off dating for a while. Until he sees her. Until he meets the sweet, smart, creative, witty woman who turns his life upside down and, in the end, shows him what it is to truly love someone. Between Andrew's issues and Olivia's haunting past, they'll have to fight every step of the way to build a life worth living, together. (Note: Each book in the Paradise Bay Sweet Romance series is a full-length standalone novel. They can be read in any order, and there are absolutely no cliffhangers.)
