"Enzo Russo: I never thought after spending a week in Coral Pointe with my cousin, helping at his friends' wedding, that I'd be back in this small town. Life in Sacramento is already lonely, but when my mom finds out my secret and uses it to hurt me in the worst way, all I want is to be where acceptance and love are as vast and dependable as the horizon. The place where the most beautiful hazel eyes I've ever seen are only a town away. Evian, the gorgeous, funny, suit designer from Barrett's Port, has unexpectedly weaved his way into my life. The question is, can he mend this gaping wound in my heart, or will one pull on the wrong thread unravel my life completely?
Evian Skye: Young and gullible. That's what I'd convinced myself I was after finding out what my much older ex-boyfriend was really doing behind my back. It took years for me to stop blaming the hearts in my eyes for obstructing my ability to see the snake he really is. So when Enzo, a gorgeous out-of-towner, stops in my shop for a suit, I push aside any attraction for him, as I'd done with every man over the last few years. There's no harm in being his friend, though, right? The problem is, there's a sadness in his brown eyes I just can't seem to forget. I'm not ready to level up our friendship to something as dangerous as love. So why can't I stop dreaming about Enzo's embrace?"
"Sage: In just a few weeks, I'm going to marry the love of my life. Levi makes me happier than I ever thought possible. There's just one shriveled raisin in this Christmas cookie. He thinks he's masking his pain well, but I can see he's longing for something I can't exactly give him. With the help of four little elves—don't tell Levi’s best friends I called them little—I'm going to show him he deserves to have it all. With the wedding details all set, I have plenty of time to focus on putting the jolly back in my man's holly. What could go wrong?
Levi: I never thought I'd have an idyllic life—until it was sprinkled with Sage. There's a saying . . . something about what you bring to the table . . . and I can't help but feel like Sage's arms are full while I'm showing up empty-handed. I want to be the man he deserves. Not just to feed my soul, but to add sustenance to his life. Things may not always go the way we planned, but no matter what life throws at us, we can sleigh anything together. Bad jokes aside, out of all the men in the world, Sage chose me. And you can bet your Jingles Bells, I'm going to give him the wedding of his dreams.
Come celebrate a wedding in Coral Pointe, where two of our favorites find their happily-ever-after . . . with a few shenanigans along the way!"
"Burke Russo
I don't do lovey dovey. Watching my four best friends trip and fall into their forever person has been both comical and confusing. When a hurricane hits Coral Pointe Inlet, it throws me into a tailspin I didn't see coming—with a man who lives to drive me crazy. Jared, the sexy—I mean, the snarky fisherman, has been the bane of my existence for the last three years. How I find myself by his side is beyond me. Realizing I may actually want to be that person for him makes me question a choice I made a long time ago. Which doesn't make any sense because my decisions are never wrong . . . right?
Jared Boone
I've lived a simple life in Coral Pointe since the day I was born. All I need is my bait shop, my boat, my dog, and the home I've lived in for the past several years with the only family I have who matters. Unexpectedly, life has thrown a stone into my calm waters. Somehow, I find myself leaning on Burke, the sexy, stubborn chef of Oceanside Bar and Grill. I've made it my mission to bait that man every chance I get. The question is, now that I've got him on the hook, do I toss him back into murky waters, or is he finally ready to admit he's been caught?

"Noah Hathaway
The saying 'livin' the dream' is usually said with sarcasm, but I truly am living my dream in Coral Pointe Inlet with my four best friends. Still, as I watch three of them fall in love, my heart aches a little with longing. It doesn't help when Hunter, a man I spent an incredible weekend with, comes back to Coral Pointe—not alone, I might add. Regardless, I find myself drifting toward the man. His life has shifted directions, so why am I still hoping his internal compass will lead him to me?
Hunter Reed
Work hard, play harder. I've lived by that motto for years—until now. My life has changed drastically since the last time I was in Coral Pointe. Thankfully, one thing has stayed exactly the same: Noah Hathaway, the kind, beautiful man whose heart beats for the people he loves. Navigating through this new reality isn't easy, but Noah, with his big heart, is determined to make sure I don't drown. I've never been a man looking for forever, but damned if I don't find myself wanting Noah to throw me that life preserver.

"Ford Ashton
They say you never forget your first. Who's they, you ask? Good question. I wish I had the answer because I've tried everything to get Abe Manning off my mind. Now he's here, in Coral Pointe Inlet, staying in the inn that I co-own with my four best friends. Okay, I may have had something to do with that, but these thoughts are driving me crazy. I need to know what happened all those years ago, because if the saying is true, how was it so easy for Abe to forget about me?
Abe Manning
A free trip to Coral Pointe Inlet, the shore town that is the very definition of paradise, is exactly what I need. The best part being there's no chance of running into two lying liars who lie. For the first time in a long time, I'm able to take a much-needed deep breath. That is, until my past shows up on the beach with a sexy smile and an unexpected confession. It was hard enough forgetting him the first time, and now here he is again—a temptation I'd never been able to deny. I have to admit, though, it's incredible to know I still have the ability to fluster Ford.

"Sage Rafferty
I've wanted Levi ever since my friend Cole introduced us. When Levi moved to my hometown of Coral Pointe Inlet, I thought I finally had a chance to land the sexy, misunderstood man. After months of trying, though, it's clear he doesn't want me the way I want him. Putting some space between us is the only way to reclaim some of my dignity. I'll suffer through as many bad dates as it takes to get over the oblivious man. It's time to face the facts: He's never going to notice me when he's too busy looking at someone else.
Levi Hansen
The life I have in Coral Pointe Inlet is one I never dreamed possible, but watching one of my best friends fall in love has me questioning everything I thought I wanted. When my friends try to convince me that Sage—the sexy owner of Bluefin—has feelings for me, they have to be out of their minds, right? So, how the hell do I end up volunteering to help the man—and manage to make a complete fool of myself in the process? The answer is staring me right in the face, but is it too late to admit I've been completely Saged?

"Cole Sullivan
Life's been pretty amazing. Moving back to my hometown of Coral Pointe Inlet and opening Shore Thing Management with my four best friends is the best decision I've ever made. Falling back into old habits with an ex? Not so much. When Aiden, the sexy, straight owner of SandBar comes to my rescue and pretends to be my boyfriend—handing me the flashlight I need to make my way out of the darkness—lines begin to blur. Suddenly, I'm falling again, but is it stupid of me to want Aiden to land by my side?
Aiden Rafferty
I've made a name for myself in this town. Granted, sometimes it's passed around in a morsel of gossip over morning coffee. I've poured my heart and soul into SandBar, and despite some townspeople thinking I turned my back on the family business, it's become a tourist hotspot. I see and hear a lot as a bartender, but I never get involved—until Cole. There's something about him, something that makes me want to protect him. Problem is, he's been hurt before. This fake relationship was my idea, so how do I go about convincing Cole there's nothing fake about it?
