Laguna Nights (Laguna Beach, Book 1)

Madison Alcott left her Laguna Beach childhood in the past as soon as she could, never imagining she’d be forced to return. Caring for her ill mother and holding down a high-pressure position at the best resort in town, Madison’s life is as good as it could ever be in Laguna Beach. And blissfully, nobody knows her as Holly anymore, the name she used on television. Everything changes when her high school boyfriend appears in the lobby. He was the reason she’d left Laguna in the first place when he humiliated her on national television.

Josh Welsh’s star has been dimming ever since he shot to fame as the high school heartthrob on the reality TV series Laguna Nights. Hoping to reignite his career, he agreed to host a travel show, with the first episode shooting in his old hometown of Laguna Beach. Of all the negative scenarios associated with filming in Laguna, Josh hadn’t calculated a run-in with Madison, or that the same deep connection he felt for her in high school would still be there.

Madison and Josh’s reality TV relationship exploded years ago but when the new series forces them together, they must face Laguna Nights past and present.

Welcome back to Laguna Beach, California ...

Laura Kinkaid’s glamorous Hollywood life is falling apart. After years of reality television stardom beginning in high school on Laguna Nights, her career and relationship with her long-term boyfriend Scott are fizzling out.

Paul Dorn’s former life in New York City is far behind him and he’s working in a popular Laguna Beach surf shop when fate brings the most beautiful woman he’s ever met into his life. The attraction is instant and he has an overwhelming desire to protect her. While Paul’s retail sales career is a short-term job for market research purposes, his focus on Laura is long-term.

Will Laura allow a handsome stranger to help her create a future unlike her past, or will the bright lights of Hollywood pull her back to LA?

Excerpt

“If you insist,” Paul said, and Laura realized she’d said that last thought out loud. Paul smiled before slowly reaching one hand behind her neck. He held her firmly around her waist with one arm while he wrapped a section of hair around his other hand. He tilted her head back gently as he pressed his lips to hers. She felt her head swirl as their lips molded to each other, giving and taking. He pulled back slightly and kissed each corner of her mouth, then traced the edges of her lips with his tongue. It was soft. Gentle. She heard herself sigh. He brushed the bottom of her lip with the tip of his tongue and sparks surged through her body. She was holding onto him tightly, arms around his waist, just to keep from falling over.

He broke the kiss with a final gentle press of his lips against hers. He smiled down into her face, his eyes darkening with attraction. “We better stop. Your parents are just inside,” Paul said. Laura felt like a rag doll and she didn’t want to stop kissing him, but she knew he was right. He slowly released her hair, trailing his fingertips down her arm, igniting sparks wherever he caressed. He kept one strong arm around her as they walked to the street.
