Summary

Pack this one in your beach bag and get ready for nonstop fun (Susan Mallery) in the book that kicks off New York Times bestselling author Roxanne St. Claire's beloved Barefoot Bay series!

When a hurricane roars through Lacey Armstrong's home on the coast of Barefoot Bay, she decides all that remains in the rubble is opportunity. A new hotel is just what Mimosa Key needs, and Lacey and her teenage daughter are due for a fresh start. And nothing, especially not a hot, younger architect, is going to distract Lacey from finally making her dreams a reality.

Love has already cost Clay Walker everything. And if he's going to have any chance of picking up the pieces of his life, he needs the job as Lacey Armstrong's architect. What's not in the plans is falling for the headstrong beauty. Her vision of the future is more appealing than anything he could have ever drafted for himself. Will Clay's designs on Lacey's heart be more than she can handle, or will she trust him to build something that will last forever?

Library Journal Review

Lacey Armstrong and her 14-year-old daughter, Ashley, survive a hurricane by hiding under a mattress in the bathtub of her family's 50-year-old home on Mimosa Key, off the west coast of Florida. The disaster brings trouble to the area, including Ashley's father, David Fox, with whom she has had limited contact since her birth, and Clay Walker, an architect looking to help the community rebuild. With insurance check in hand, thirtysomething Lacey decides to construct the bed-and-breakfast she has dreamed of owning. Lacey now has to war with zoning laws to bring her plan to fruition, all while sorting out her daughter's desire to reunite with her father and her own attraction to the hot, young architect. Verdict Even with sharks in the Gulf of Mexico, Lacey and Clay manage to consummate their relationship. While the novel touches on the familiar scenario of an aspiring woman battling the folks who want to preserve old Florida, Lacey fights the fight with a sexy younger man at her side. This first installment in the new Barefoot Bay series from award-winning author St. Claire (Killer Curves) features steamy sex in warm gulf waters; readers will be delighted.-Joyce Sparrow, Kenneth City, FL (c) Copyright 2012.
