About the Book

Piper Bellinger is a wealthy socialite reeling after a very public breakup, where her ex tells her she's about as substantial as a champagne bubble. Her response? Throw a huge, wild, and highly illegal party — one that finally pushes her disappointed stepfather too far. As punishment, he sends Piper to Westport, a small fishing village in Washington, to learn responsibility by running the dive bar her late biological father once owned.

Stripped of her glamorous life and forced into an unfamiliar world, Piper collides with Brendan Taggart, a grumpy, blue-collar crab boat captain who's convinced she'll never last in his town. As Piper reluctantly settles into small-town life alongside her estranged sister Hannah, her rivalry with Brendan simmers into something neither of them expected — a slow-burn romance that forces both to confront who they really are beneath the roles they've been playing.
