From USA Today bestselling author Katherine Hastings comes a steamy grumpy-sunshine rom-com set in Door County, where a disgraced heiress, a fake name, and a reclusive fisherman collide.
I have one summer to prove I can survive without their money. He wants none of my chaos.
When I landed on the front page of a New York tabloid with a censored label over my lady bits, my billionaire grandfather finally snapped.
His ultimatum? Survive the summer in a rundown Door County cabin with my tiny dog, Poppy, a fake name, and a hundred dollars, or lose my claim to the family empire forever.
Easy enough. Probably.
Determined to prove I’m more than a trust fund with bad judgment, I trade stilettos for bartending shifts at a local dive bar. The only problem is Jake Alton, my gorgeous, grumpy fisherman neighbor, who wants peace, solitude, and absolutely no part of my chaos.
Unfortunately, trouble keeps finding me. Even more unfortunately, Jake keeps rescuing me.
But our sizzling chemistry is turning into something dangerously real, and Jake has zero tolerance for lies. If he discovers who I really am, my fresh start might cost me my heart.
The Other Half is Book 1 in the Door Peninsula Passions series, a steamy, laugh-out-loud rom-com from an AUDIE-nominated, SOVAS Award-winning humor author. Each book stands alone with its own HEA, but recurring characters make the series especially fun to read in order.
