Bailey Hartwell has many reasons to feel content—her successful business, a close circle of friends, and her steady boyfriend…even if their romance feels staid after ten years without a serious commitment. The only challenge in her life comes in the form of sexy businessman Vaughn Tremaine. She thinks the ex-New Yorker acts superior and that he considers her a small-town nobody. But when Bailey’s blindsided by a betrayal, she’s shocked to discover Vaughn is actually a decent guy.
Vaughn admires Bailey’s free spirit, independence, and loyalty. As his passion for her has grown, his antagonism toward her has only worsened. Every little thing Bailey does seduces him. But when Vaughn’s painful emotional past makes him walk away in fear he will hurt her, it opens an old wound in Bailey, and she uncharacteristically retreats.
Once Vaughn begins to realize he’s made the biggest mistake of his life, he has no choice but to fight like he’s never fought before to convince Bailey that the love they’ve found together only comes around once in a lifetime….
Hart's Boardwalk
Book 2
Adult contemporary romance
Two rivals surrender to desire and fall in love in this wonderfully addictive enemies-to-lovers romance. With Every Little Thing, Samantha Young delivers yet another amazing chapter in the Hart’s Boardwalk series. Every page draws you deeper into Bailey and Vaughn’s story, deeper into the lives of those who inhabit this cozy Delaware town.
In The One Real Thing, as Cooper and Jessica’s story twined together, we met Bailey Hartwell and Vaughn Tremaine, felt the sparks even as non-stop derision shaped their relationship.
Bailey is Hartwell’s princess—a small-town girl content to run the boardwalk’s inn. Vaughn is the impeccably dressed businessman from New York, who also runs a 5-star hotel in Hartwell. Seemingly hard-hearted as compared to Bailey’s spirit and warmth, Vaughn knows a thing or two about relationships gone wrong and he’s vowed to avoid them at all costs… forever. Even though there’s no denying no one gets under his skin quite like fiery redhead Bailey.
But when her life falls apart, Vaughn comes to her rescue. Suddenly, Bailey sees past Vaughn’s icy exterior and defenses shatter, giving way to a night that was a long time coming.
Bliss quickly morphs into heartbreak, however, and Bailey’s contempt for this fine-looking New Yorker turns hotter, sharper than ever.
Both Vaughn and Bailey must let go of the pasts which have haunted them, if they’re to find real happiness with each other.
I assure you—you’ll devour every page. Relish every moment. You won’t stop reading until you reach the very end, when you’ll close the book with a huge smile on your face.
Full of tenderness, fire, sexiness and intrigue, Every Little Thing is everything I hope to find in a romance. I loved this book, love this series and am desperately hoping for more installments sooner than later!
