A sweet, but focused woman. A stalker out to bring the woman down. A man willing to swoop in and save the damsel. And a ride or die best friend. All the right ingredients for a comical romance with heart. After college, I vowed to focus all my energy on fulfilling my promise to my mom: to open up the hot chocolate store we’d always dreamed of running together. No distractions. My plans are set. But things heat up faster than I can handle when a bronzed lifeguard pursues me in the most delicious of ways. Mix in a stalker determined to throw me off my game, and a comical, ass-kicking Squad of friends…well, then you have a situation that requires time I don’t have. I may appear to be a damsel in distress, but I can save my own damn self, thank you very much. And I might just keep that hottie lifeguard as the whipped cream on top of my sweet dreams. Sweet Dreams is the first book in a series of comedic contemporary romance novels. If you like strong, sassy heroines, witty bantering, and happily ever afters, then you’ll love the first book in Marika Ray’s Beach Squad series.
