Davenports (Andre)

Meet the Davenport family! Six brothers and sisters who call picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea home. Successful, brilliant, and passionate, the only thing each of them needs is the perfect partner in love and life. Hotshot movie star Archer Davenport has never met a stunt he couldn't ace, a challenge he couldn't overcome, or a woman he couldn't have. When he breaks his leg during a dangerous stunt, the production company insists on hiring a live-in caretaker for him. He refuses the help… until he meets Tessa Taylor. She's not only caring and beautiful, she's also as tough on him as a drill sergeant. Tessa knows all about confident men. She used to be married to one and that didn't go well. Her only solace is her painting, even if she has no talent, as her late husband always claimed. Her biggest problem on this job, however, is that sexy, magnetic Archer makes her toes curl with desire every time he's near. She does everything she can to try to remain professional. But it gets harder and harder every day as she starts to fall for him-and for his amazing family-even though she knows she'll have to leave him for her next client as soon as he's fully recovered. Arch, however, has no plans to let Tessa disappear once his leg is fully recovered. As the sparks between them grow hotter and hotter, he's determined to show Tessa that she's not only the most incredible and loving woman he's ever known, she's also the most talented. California Dreaming is part of New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Bella Andre and Nicky Arden's emotional and sexy contemporary romance series. While it can be listened to as a standalone, you'll likely enjoy the other books too.

Meet the Davenport family! Six brothers and sisters who call picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea home. Successful, brilliant, and passionate, the only thing they all still need is the perfect partner in love and life. When Herschel Greenfield achieved his dream of becoming an astronaut and going on space missions, he thought he knew the risks-but he never expected his splashdown would go wrong and he'd nearly drown. He tells everyone he's fine, but if that's true, then why can't get into the ocean? Somehow, some way, he needs to conquer his fear so that he can continue going into space. When pro-surfer Mila Davenport suffered a career-ending accident that almost cost her life, she had to adjust to an entirely new life where she spent more time on land than in the sea. While she loves her new career as a realtor, nothing makes her feel more alive than riding the waves. Certainly, no man has ever come close to giving her that same rush that the ocean does. But after meeting Herschel, when she learns about his emotional fallout from his crash landing, she wants nothing more than to help him learn to love the sea as much as she does, despite his harrowing experience. The only problem is that she also thinks he's incredibly sexy and can't help but want him. More than she's ever wanted anyone. And when it seems like he feels the same way about her, that's when things suddenly feel truly dangerous. Far more dangerous than any surfing accident or crash landing. Because this time around, Mila isn't just risking her body-she's risking her heart. But is Hersch willing to risk his heart, too? Or once he gets over his issues with the sea, will he be on the next spaceship out of town… and she'll be left with nothing but the memories of being with the most incredible man she's ever known? California Waves is a standalone part of New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Bella Andre and Nicky Arden's new emotional and sexy contemporary romance series.

Erin Davenport always imagined she'd end up with a quiet man. Someone like her. Then she met Jay Malone. He's the loudest, pushiest, most sales-oriented man she's ever met. A top Hollywood agent, Jay's bought a waterfront house in Carmel, and everywhere Erin turns, he seems to be there, big, gorgeous, and pulsing with life. He seems to go through women like candy, but Erin has no intention of being his latest treat. Jay can sell anything to anyone. He turned a hot young surfer into an A-list movie star, so why is it so hard to sell himself to Archer Davenport's sister? Erin isn't like anyone he's ever known. He's been in Hollywood so long, he's accustomed to being surrounded by some of the most beautiful, talented women in the world. But Erin attracts him in a way no other woman ever has. She's gorgeous and rarely bothers with makeup or fancy clothes. She's a brilliant writer, but happy to work for the local newspaper, The Sea Shell. He thinks she's the woman he's been looking for all his life. But can he convince the emotionally risk-averse writer to take a chance on their love story?
