A woman blindsided by her boyfriend's wedding. A man who never stopped loving her. A reunion that neither of them knows they need.

Hadley Jones has loved Chase Williams since high school. She's still waiting for him to propose -- which makes it all the more devastating when she discovers he's been making wedding plans with someone else. Just when her carefully built life falls apart, the last person she expected walks back into it.

Heath Robinson left the Santa Valentina Islands the first chance he got, and he's never looked back. He's days away from closing the biggest merger of his career when a phone call pulls him home to care for his mother, who has managed to injure herself in the most spectacular fashion -- on a moped. His plan: get her back on her feet, avoid Hadley Jones at all costs, and get back to his real life.

Hadley broke Heath's heart fifteen years ago, and he hasn't forgotten. But his mum has no interest in recovering quietly -- not when she and her outspoken friends have opinions about everything, including who Heath should end up with.

Resting Beach Face is a funny, warm second-chance romance about the love you left behind, the people who refuse to let you hide, and finding your way back to the life you were always meant to have. Reads perfectly as a standalone.
