“I would think that we’re all familiar with the old saying, ‘Opposites attract.’ Boy, do they—in a big, enjoyable, fun way… A great vacation book!... Keep water handy—be it pool, lake or ocean water. Okay, a squirt bottle will do. You’ll need to cool down from the heat in Summer Heat [The Boss’s Runaway Bride].” — The Romance Reader (4 stars)

A romantic comedy novella that proves opposites really do attract!

Molly Lamb is not the sort of housemate uptight Quinn Marshall is expecting when he takes his former boss up on the offer of a free month at his Cape Cod beach house. Not only does free-spirited Molly shower naked outside, and practice her trumpet at all hours, and encroach on Quinn’s personal space in the most distracting way... she’s the woman who ran out of the church moments before she was due to exchange I-do’s with the boss!

All Quinn wants is a solitary vacation, a few weeks alone with no distractions to examine his options and get his life and career back on track. He doubts he’s ever been more distracted with the boss’s sexy runaway bride sleeping right upstairs. And that's before the hurricane hits!
