Baiting Burke

Burke Russo

I don't do lovey dovey. Watching my four best friends trip and fall into their forever person has been both comical and confusing. When a hurricane hits Coral Pointe Inlet, it throws me into a tailspin I didn't see coming—with a man who lives to drive me crazy. Jared, the sexy—I mean, the snarky fisherman, has been the bane of my existence for the last three years. How I find myself by his side is beyond me. Realizing I may actually want to be that person for him makes me question a choice I made a long time ago. Which doesn't make any sense because my decisions are never wrong . . . right?

Jared Boone

I've lived a simple life in Coral Pointe since the day I was born. All I need is my bait shop, my boat, my dog, and the home I've lived in for the past several years with the only family I have who matters. Unexpectedly, life has thrown a stone into my calm waters. Somehow, I find myself leaning on Burke, the sexy, stubborn chef of Oceanside Bar and Grill. I've made it my mission to bait that man every chance I get. The question is, now that I've got him on the hook, do I toss him back into murky waters, or is he finally ready to admit he's been caught?
