Below Decks: A Small-Town Romance

Rate this book
Emily Lockwood grew up on her family’s prestigious island Ross Harbor, where the rich and powerful come to play. But she wants more than the life of a pampered princess. Emily’s job crewing her best friend’s charter sailboat has given her an escape from the pressures of high society. There’s just one problem… now she can’t escape her attraction to Storm Caines, her fellow crewman. Storm used to be just another crunchy year-rounder in the town of Griffin Bay. When did the hippie become a hottie? Emily can’t stop staring at his cut physique, and can’t help wondering whether the sailor’s thirst for adventure is stronger when he’s hauling sheets or between the sheets.

Storm’s desire for Emily is just as strong. But if their boss finds out they’ve been fooling around below decks, their jobs will be on the line. No the element of danger adds just the right amount of spice to please Storm’s palate. Secrecy is hot, and Storm plans to enjoy their clandestine fling for however long it lasts, then cut lines and sail away when his affair with Emily is over. …Or so he thinks.

But then Emily’s brother Bennett makes a bid to take control of Ross Harbor Resort… and Emily is exactly the bait Bennett needs to seal the deal. Torn between two worlds—and the two halves of her heart—Emily will have to decide whether freedom or family comes first. Faced with losing Emily forever, Storm must confront the love he’s been trying to deny. If they open the hatch on their secrets, will love win out? Or will Storm and Emily lose everything?

Below Decks is a Griffin Bay Novel by Lib Starling. It is actually book two in the series.
Emily and Storm leave Jordan and Davis on the Coriblis overnight to work things out between them. It is the last night of the voyage and it hasn’t turned out like Davis’s publisher intended. Tonight is the last night to get through to him. Meanwhile Emily and Storm spend the night on Waldron Island at Aunt Susan’s cabin. What began as an innocent night’s stay becomes more than that when Emily and Storm admit to their attraction for each other. However, they are not sure how Jordan will take it with romance between crewmembers. They do know that Emily’s parents will object to it.
When they reach Rose Harbor, the find Emily’s brother Bennett has come home to take over the Rose Harbor Resort even though it was promised to her younger brother Bryce. Bennett hasn’t had anything to do with the resort and plans to expand it to the detriment of the islands and no matter what the townspeople have to say.
