Salt Bay Sunrise (Escape Valencia Cove for Romance #1)

She's a business owner under the gun. He’s an embattled veteran determined to help. When she gets in over her head, will their love sink or swim?
Ecotour captain Willow McBride enjoys introducing tourists to the many wonders of the sea. But with financial pressure mounting, she reluctantly takes on a group of mysterious “treasure hunters” with unclear intentions. And the salt really hits the fan when her hunky high school crush wanders back into her life out of nowhere.

Grant Taylor needs a fresh start. After checking out of the VA hospital with a still-mangled arm, he agrees to look in on his friend’s sister back in his hometown. And though he remains haunted by the people he let die, he’s unprepared for the way her familiar face makes his wounded heart skip a beat.

Despite falling for the handsome soldier from her past, Willow still can’t let him interfere with her clients’ increasingly illegal demands. But if Grant wants to fulfill his obligation and protect the lovely mariner, he’ll have to confront his terror of open water.

Can the reunited pair dodge a bullet and sail off into the sunset?
