Flirting with Sunshine: Fun for the Holidays, #8

By J. Sterling

After finding out that her husband was cheating on her, Ava Starling packed her things and never looked back. She always planned on coming home to run her family's seafood restaurant, but she never expected that she'd be doing it alone. Ava was finally in a good place; healing, no longer angry, peaceful and content.

At least that's what she told herself.
Until a grumpy fisherman showed up out of nowhere like an unexpected storm.

Tony Garcia had been running... from his past, from his future, from himself. When he settled in Port Rufton, the last thing he expected was someone like Ava. He'd closed himself off from everyone, convinced that he was better off alone. He tried his best to keep her at arms length, but women like Ava refused to be ignored.

Can he have a future with someone new when he's still stuck in the past?

I got fired from my last job. It's true. I know you're sitting there thinking, "Jenn, how could anyone in their right mind fire someone like you?" And I'd love to give you a good reason, but the truth is that sometimes being all sorts of awesome isn't fun for other people. They don't always tend to like it. lol  :) So I picked my pride off the floor, bought a laptop and started writing my first book. And you know what I realized? Writing stories that meant something to me was a million times better than working my ass off for someone who didn't really care about anything other than the bottom line. My soul has never felt more satisfied. My heart has never been more full. I've never worked so hard in my life, but I love every second of it. I truly do. It is SO worth it. All of it. Every moment. The journey it took to get to this point- I wouldn't change a thing. So thank you for reading, loving and recommending the stories I write to other people. Your word of mouth is my very best friend.... that and your reviews.  :) I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you.
