Tenn McKee made a name for herself in the hotel industry as a consultant who could suss out the flaws in any business and fix them, leaving a string of five-star, award winning hotels in her wake. She got more than she bargained for when she bought her father’s rundown RV park. With or without help from her family, she plans to reverse decades of bad management by turning the property into a modern all-inclusive resort. She expected push back from her sisters, but she didn’t plan for Dutch Collier. Not after the way he ghosted her right before she left for college.
Dutch Collier has dedicated his life to being a man his uncle could be proud of. No prickly millionaire with grand ideas is going to upset the delicate balance he’s created in Carolina Beach or in his life. Even if that thorny rose is the girl he was dumb enough to chase away as a teenager.
Mother Nature has other plans for Carolina Beach, and Tenn’s renovations are put on hold while the worst hurricane in fifty years hits the Carolinas.
When the rains start to fall, the memories of old flames burn bright, and the old friends find themselves exactly where they were when they stopped talking.
In bed.
But this time, they have no reason not to be together.
Can Tenn forgive the boy and let herself love the man? Can she put away her ideas of perfection and let Shipwreck be the home she always wanted?
Can Dutch overcome the old wounds the storm churned to the surface? Will he cling to his past? Or move on to a future with Tenn by his side?
Stay Salty is a steamy, second chance romance with laughs, tears, a metric ton of dick jokes, and a Happily Ever After.
