Welcome to the Outer Banks in North Carolina! When I moved here from New York, it took me a while to get used to the small-town vibe where gossip spreads like wildfire the moment someone new in town arrives. But now? I’ve made Corolla my home. Not only do I get to spend my evenings drinking wine on my wraparound porch, and walk to the beach for sunset ponderings, but I get to live my dream by running my own shop in the cute town of Duck.
Flirt is my baby—my passion. I feature products from female-run businesses that includes hand-made jewelry, candles, fashion, home accessories, and art. It’s a place that makes women happy. Plus, the location is downtown near the water, where you can take a stroll and enjoy the other unique shops and grab a coffee from the café. Don’t forget to indulge in Duck Donuts, my go-to sugar treat and famous worldwide. You can also pop into the local bookshop and pick up my sister’s latest romance novel that hit the bestseller list. Or take a wild horse tour with Brick Babel—the owner of Ziggy’s Tours—and see these beautiful animals run wild in the dunes.
After work, I head to Sunfish Bar & Grill, where cocktails, chatter, and oysters brighten up the evening with friends. And on Wednesdays, I meet with the Bad Ass Bitches club at the wine bar, where women get together to share and bitch and get advice on our love lives. Or lack of it.
It really is a beautiful place to call home. I can’t wait to see you here when you pick up THE RELUCTANT FLIRT!
THE RELUCTANT FLIRT by Jennifer Probst
From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst, discover The Reluctant Flirt…
Just one night…
After discovering her husband’s affair, Sierra Lourde flees to New York City for a little damage control—and a lot of wine. A tipsy night in a bar with a charming stranger seems like the perfect way to forget her troubles. No names, no promises, just one night to escape reality and regain her confidence. The next morning, mortified by her vulnerability, she flees without looking back. But who needs closure, right?
But one night changes everything…
Sierra has reinvented herself as the proud owner of Flirt, a trendy boutique in the Outer Banks. Life is good—until Kane Masterson, the man she left behind, walks back into town. And of course, he’s now the developer whose big new project threatens to bulldoze her beloved shop. Kane needs this deal to save his career (and his brother), but Sierra’s not about to let him demolish her hard-won success.
With sparks flying, sarcastic jabs turning into lingering looks, and a family wedding forcing them into close quarters, Sierra and Kane find themselves tangled in a battle of wills—and hearts. But now he has to choose: reclaim his career or risk everything for a second chance with the one woman he can’t forget.
