Rum Sips and Salty Lips - Paperback

by Rebecca V. Archer (Author)

Orion Edwards has drifted his whole life.

He's never needed more than the wind in his sails and a good navigation chart. But after a near-death experience, he moves to Wendell Beach, Florida, and sets up a fleet of sailboats for charter.

The town comes with rules. The biggest: keep the town darling, Carina Webb, happy. Even when a mix-up means taking her out on his personal boat instead of the company's. And he hates strangers on his boat.

But Carina is a siren calling to him.

Carina runs a thriving athletic wear company and is always around to support a friend. She's perfectly pleasant at all times, even if she's spiraling on the inside, never letting anyone see more than she wants them to. She doesn't need help, and she doesn't need a relationship.

One night in Orion's bed, and her world shifts on its axis.

They agree they can't keep sleeping with each other. Especially since they are next-door neighbors, and their friends won't mind their own business. But their boundaries fall apart when they are alone.

She trusts him with the pieces she keeps hidden. Can he be trusted to stay?
