Bayside Desires by Melissa Foster

May 29, 2017 by Pam Maynard

What do you get when you cross a kindergarten teacher with a resort owner slash contractor? A love so powerful that sparks jump off the pages of their book. Melissa Foster does it once again with BaySide Desires, the story of Desiree and Rick.

Rick Savage is a contractor architect and resort owner who is working on a new resort with his brother and business partner when he spots Desiree standing on the beach. Of course, he wasn’t working at the time he spotted her. He was flying past her on a jet ski.

Desiree was at the popular vacation spot because her carefree, gypsy mother summoned her to the family beach home, previously belonging to Desiree’s beloved grandmother, who passed away several years earlier. Lizza had told both her daughters that it was a matter of life and death and they both needed to come to the beach house for the summer. Desiree and Violet didn’t grow up together. Desiree grew up with her father and Violet traveled the globe with Lizza.

Rick hadn’t been back to the Cape for extended periods of time since his father passed away when he was a teenager. The Cape held memories, both good and bad. The bad had been tucked away while he was becoming married to his job. But, since he was spending several months there to open the new resort, all sorts of memories had been popping up.

When Rick and Desiree meet, sparks flew instantly, causing both to think of nothing else except each other. While Desiree had Rick’s number, he didn’t have hers. So when her mother’s dog ends up in the resort’s pool, Rick returned him to Desiree, unknowing that it was her dog.

This love story is about healing, family drama and following dreams. Melissa Foster knows how to make the characters your best friends, you family and keeps you wanting more.

NEW RELEASE…

Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod.

BAYSIDE SUMMERS is a series of standalone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, always passionate, and easy to relate to.

In Bayside Desires…
As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous job working with his best friends and brother, and a thriving business in Washington, DC, which he’ll be returning to at the end of the summer. Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction.

Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary’s plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother’s aid, she’s stuck spending the summer with the badass half sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that’s not frustrating enough, she can’t escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off.

Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down. Only slowing down means dealing with his demons, and he isn’t sure who he’ll be when he comes out the other side.

All Bayside books can be read as standalone novels or as part of the series:
