Temptation on Ocean Drive, A heart-stirring novel of unrequited love and second chances by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst is live!
Young widow Bella Sunshine-Caldwell is focused only on raising her daughter and running the family business, Sunshine Bridal. There’s no time for romance—especially with her fellow wedding planner, Gabe, whom she’s growing increasingly attracted to. He’s too enterprising to stay in Cape May for long, anyway. And too tall, dark, and handsome to be anything but a heartbreaker.
Every woman in town has her sights on Gabe Garcia. The only woman he has eyes for doesn’t seem interested. All he wants is to fall in love, be a father, and settle down. As he and Bella work together on a magical winter wedding, the distance between them closes, the nights grow warmer, and Bella might be seeing Gabe for who he really is: a man worth the effort.
But all it takes is a single rumor for these two hearts’ fragile love story to shatter. And now the happy ending Bella and Gabe hoped for is something they’re going to have to fight for.
Bella lost her husband a few years ago to a drink driver. Zoey was only a baby. She shut herself off to the world for a while until one day she realized she needed to get on with her life for her and her daughter. She still kept herself emotionally closed off from people other than her family.
Gabe started working for Sunshine Bridal just over a year ago. Everyone there loves him. However there is one Sunshine sister that he can not seem to get the attention of. He was drawn to Bella from the first time he met her. He has gotten very close to her daughter Zoey, but Bella keeps a very professional distance between them. They don't usually work together however when Gabe is asked to help out last minute with a wedding he quickly agrees. This wedding leads to a very high profile person asking for the 2 of them to plan her wedding. Bella does not want to do it at first as the deadline is very short and the theme is a little crazy. However with some coaxing from her sisters to take on the responsibility and that they are both ready for this, they take the job.
With Bella and Gabe working together on this wedding they are spending a lot of time together. Gabe has wanted to pursue Bella for sometime but she always shuts down his advances. He can see that she is attracted to him but she never acts on it. Bella is afraid that Gabe is going to leave Sunshine Bridal for bigger opportunities so she will not open up to him. When Gabe finally let's Bella know of his true feelings it scares her. If she gets involved and he leaves it will be like losing Matt all over again. With her head and heart telling her two different things will she ever be able to find happiness?
