Another Magnolia Bay Love Story, Stealing Hearts by Erika Marks will steal your heart (no pun intended) in the first chapter.
Remember Mick Atwell from “A Very Married Christmas”? This is his story. He is still in Magnolia Bay for a few more days before he goes to Colorado for another job. That is until his plans were derailed by the arrival of Lucy Waverly.
Good looking as he is, Mick can pick and choose among the beautiful women of Magnolia Bay. But, it was not until he laid eyes on Lucy Waverly that his heart skipped a bit. Aside from the fact that she is his best friend’s sister, Lucy also comes with a whole lot of issues and baggage. And of course, she lives in New York!
Mick has less than a week to find his happily ever after with Lucy, that is if they can survive it especially with mobster-type men looking for Lucy.
Stealing Hearts is Rated T for Teens.
Bartender Mick Atwell has one more commitment before he leaves Magnolia Bay for Colorado: help his best friend, Tim, get his new wine bar POUR ready in time for its Valentine’s Day grand opening. But when Tim’s little sister Lucy breezes into town unexpectedly from New York for a visit, Mick doesn’t see how they’ll keep to their tight schedule—any more than he sees how this beautiful, spirited woman could possibly be the same irresponsible “kid” Tim has been complaining about for years…
Despite her carefree smile, Lucy Waverly hasn’t come back to Magnolia Bay for a vacation—she’s come home to hide. After discovering her boss at the gallery is selling forgeries, she needs to lay low and figure out a plan to get herself out of this dangerous mess—a plan which can’t include falling for her brother’s sexy best friend, no matter how safe he makes her feel, or how his smoldering eyes turn her inside out.
Mick has one foot out the door, but when Lucy’s troubles follow her to Magnolia Bay, they are thrust together to keep one step ahead of danger and get POUR open in time. Soon the man who lives by his plans is wondering if the woman who lives by chance may not be worth breaking his rules for.
