Fresh off an eighteen-month stint for
grand theft auto, Joel Graziano heads for sleepy Montauk with nothing to his
name but an ancient Buick and the keys to his grandmother's rundown beach
cottage.
He fully intends to serve out his parole
fixing boats, keeping his nose clean, and minding his own damned business.
Unfortunately, the locals immediately peg him as an interloper, and the keenest
stare belongs to his sexy neighbor.
Charlotte "œCharlie" Sanger is curious
about the man with the double sleeve tattoos, but she's got problems of her
own. Her mother's death left Charlie in charge of her father and teenage sister.
The result? Joy's pregnant and Dad isn't speaking to either of them.
Soon Charlie is sneaking next door to
lose herself in mind-blowing sex. It's supposed to be just a temporary neighbors-with-benefits
arrangement, but Joel finds Charlie and her quirky gaggle of family and friends
growing on him. And he dares to hope that Charlie could be a safe place to hang
his heart.
