Calico Cove

He's the billionaire Beast of Calico Cove, and I'm his sacrificial lamb…I mean, his new employee. Malcolm Bettencourt is a recluse with a nasty scar across his face and a bad attitude. He has a bone to pick with my family over a loan my dad can't pay back, so to save our lobster business, I agree to be his live-in housekeeper and cook. We have nothing in common, and there's no reason to think he would want anything to do with someone like me. Except I can't stop thinking about him, and he can't stop looking at me. This Beauty and the Beast retelling includes a grumpy hero, a sassy heroine looking to lose her v-card, and a Pretty Woman moment with a black Am-Ex. Oh, and an age-gap romance with someone who may or may not be her lobster.

To: Jackson (Not My Prince Charming) Dumont From: Lola Pappas What did you think was going to happen when you came back to Calico Cove after being gone for years? That I would forget how you were my best friend before you became my worst enemy? Or did you want me to pretend that night at the bonfire when you humiliated me in front of everyone didn't happen? I don't care that you're handsome as sin and rich AF, or even that you're pretending to worry about my family's diner-I'm not falling for your charm again. To: Lola From: Jackson Please let me prove myself to you. I can still be your Prince Charming. Not My Prince Charming is a Cinderella retelling including one nasty stepmom, two clueless step-sisters, a godfather with gold eye shadow, a best friend lost and found, hot action on a boat, and a LOT of groveling.

I was the Runaway Bride of Calico Cove-which, sure, wasn't my finest moment, but now I desperately need someone to rescue me from my conniving family. My unlikely hero? Roy Barnes, the grumpiest fisherman in town who recently became the guardian of his orphaned baby niece. We are a match made in marriage-of-convenience heaven: he protects me from my furious father, and I help him with baby Nora. Perfect, right? Wrong. Because our fake marriage isn't about love-it can't be about love. Those are the ground rules. Except everyone knows rules are meant to be broken. In addition to the runaway bride and grumpy single dad, The Grump, The Bride & The Baby contains a kleptomaniac baby who refuses to eat her vegetables, a storm at sea, and a damsel in distress who learns how to save herself.
