If All Else Sails

In this enemies-to-lovers romance, school nurse Josie and her brother''s best friend--hockey player Wyatt Jacobs--are tricked into spending a summer together that''s anything but smooth sailing.

When Josie''s brother sends her to a random address for their (sometimes) annual Super Summer Sibling Extravaganza, she finds neither siblings nor extravaganzas. Instead, ends up at a run-down cottage on the Northern Neck of Virginia occupied by a hockey player she knows and loathes.

A hockey player who isn''t just one of her sports agent brother''s clients. He''s also his best friend. And Josie''s sworn enemy.

Oh--and her brother wants Josie to help Wyatt recover from his injury.

Dragging grumpy hockey players to physical therapy is a far cry from bandaging skinned knees, but for the price her brother offers to pay, Josie is willing to try.

Even if it means sharing what she dubs the quaint little murder cottage with Wyatt.

Begrudgingly, Josie starts to see a little more of the man behind the grumpy exterior. And when she finds out he was supposed to sail the Intracoastal Waterway south to Savannah scattering his uncle''s ashes, Josie surprises even herself by offering to be Wyatt''s first mate.

Smooth sailing is nowhere to be found, and Josie begins to wonder if they''ll be able to make it home without killing--or kissing?--each other.

And yet, the longer they share cramped quarters and canned food, the more of Wyatt''s layers she peels back until Josie realizes she misunderstood him, their shared history, and perhaps herself as well.
