Heathen & Honeysuckle for Pacific Shores

Darby Andrews, the golden child of Crestwell, Kansas, has always been a rule follower, save for one secret summer spent living with her grandmother in California, the consequences of which still haunt her a decade later. Despite her perfect-on-paper engagement to Jackson Montague, handpicked by her demanding father, Darby knows what true love is, and this arrangement is not it.

When the boy whose heart she broke all those years ago shows up on the cusp of her nuptials, claiming to have received a letter she never meant to send him, and offering her a chance to run away, Darby is faced with a choice: remain the good girl she's always been, or become the wild spirit she's always wished to be.

Meanwhile, in the small town of Pacific Shores, Leo Graham knows that nothing new ever happens. That is, until he runs into his new neighbor, Darby Andrews – a golden-haired, honey-eyed, sharp-tongued mischievous surfer. The innocent girl-next-door immediately captivates Leo, and he vows to dedicate his summer to bringing out her wild side.

As Leo and Darby's budding friendship blossoms into a burning love that neither of them could have expected, Leo is determined to protect it at all costs. Until he finds that the girl of his teenage dreams has run away in the middle of the night, without so much as a goodbye.

The contrast between Darby's carefully curated life in Crestwell and her secret yearning for adventure, and Leo's carefree existence in Pacific Shores, sets the stage for a powerful and emotional journey of self-discovery, second chances, and the courage to follow one's heart, no matter the consequences.
