New Book & Giveaway from Susan Mallery
Dear Reader,
Beach Vibes, my new book, is out now! If you preordered it, check your mailbox, your inbox or your e-reader for this tender and twisty story that will have you wondering what you would do if you caught your brother cheating on your best friend. It’s a question of friendship versus family, and the powerful love we have for both. You know I don’t write heavy books. Thoughtful, yes. Emotional, yes. But not heavy—I tell stories with a light touch, and an ending that is going to leave you feeling uplifted and happy.
I hope you’ll take this emotional journey with me!
What would you do if you caught your brother cheating on your best friend?
While Beth is proud of her Malibu beach shop, Surf Sandwiches, she's even prouder of her charismatic brother Rick, who rose from foster care through surgical residency. She makes subs, he saves lives. Life takes a turn for the happy after she finds out Rick is dating her new best friend, Jana. Then Jana’s handsome brother adds even more sparkle to Beth’s days. . . and nights.
But when she catches Rick with another woman—like, with-with—her visions of an idyllic family future disappear in one awful instant. Either she betrays her brother, or she keeps his secret and risks losing the man she loves and her best friend.
Love and loyalty collide with secrets and betrayal in this witty and emotional tale about the lengths we’ll go to for family, from Susan Mallery, bestselling author of The Boardwalk Bookshop.
