Barefoot Bay: Giving Chase — JoMarie DeGioia

From Cypress Corners to Barefoot Bay, bestselling author JoMarie DeGioia brings heat, heart and humor in this Contemporary Romantic Comedy!

One heated night under the stars
A reunion that could change everything
Can he give her a reason to trust in forever?
Or is he pushing for too much too fast?

Chase Harris has always longed for family. His mother ran off when he was a kid and his late father was distant at best. He was still stinging from his divorce when he met the woman of his dreams at his cousin Billy's wedding in Cypress Corners. Their night together in a rustic tent-cabin gave new meaning to the words “great outdoors.” When Billy asks him to go to Barefoot Bay on business six weeks later, he jumps at the chance to reconnect with the girl he just can't seem to forget.

Carrie Boyles is never impulsive, but Chase was the perfect balm to her bruised heart that magical night under the stars. She'd been cheated on and dumped, and Chase was sweet and the hottest guy she'd ever met. Now that she's back to work at the Eucalyptus Spa in the Casa Blanca Resort, she realizes that her one fling will have forever consequences.

She can hardly believe it when Chase shows up at the resort on the very day she discovers she's pregnant. He stirs up all sorts of feelings, tender tempting feelings, but she doesn't want to be hurt again.

When Chase sees Carrie, it's like lightning struck twice. He wants to find out what they can be to each other, and her little surprise just might give him what he's always wanted.

Will Carrie give Chase the chance to make them a family?
Or will she protect her heart and risk losing any chance at happiness?
