Catch Me When I Fall

Pelican Bay: Book 4

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A commitment-phobic woman. A cop who will do anything to prove they can have it all.

Natalie O’Connell has a plan: launch the soap shop business with her sister, keep her fourteen-year-old son out of trouble, and avoid anything that feels like forever. It’s a solid plan—until her son gets busted for vandalism and the arresting officer turns out to be the man she’s been sleeping with.

Officer Ethan Hunter knows something about second chances, having left his former recklessness behind for a badge and a commitment to serving Pelican Bay. Letting Liam O’Connell off after several warnings is no longer an option. Walking away from Natalie isn’t either.

Now Ethan’s caught between reaching a boy who reminds him of himself and convincing a commitment-phobic woman that what started as casual has become anything but. And Natalie must decide whether risking her heart is worth losing the first man who’s ever made her want to try. In Pelican Bay, love has a way of arriving at the wrong moment—and staying.
