Love and Joy (Otter Bluff)

She’s jumping into a drastic change of lifestyle. He’s determined to help her see everything she’s been missing …

Joy Maxwell has a life people envy. An upscale Los Angeles condo, designer clothes, a big following on Instagram, and looks other women would die for. But it’s not easy being in the public eye, and when her career as an influencer starts to go south, Joy goes north—to the small coastal town of Cambria, where she plans to blog about her new, minimalist lifestyle, hoping to parlay it into a book deal.

Nix Landry sees the tiny house he built with his own hands as more than a place to live—it’s a statement about sustainability, simplicity, and being present for what’s important in life. When Joy applies to be his tenant, he’s skeptical that this woman with her designer shoes and her salon hairstyle will last more than a week. But the more he gets to know her, the more he takes it as a challenge to show her how much more fulfilling life can be.

Love and Joy is a stand-alone romance in Linda Seed’s Otter Bluff series.
