Sweatpants & Sweet Tea
(2024)(The first book in the Firefly Island: Southern Nights series)
A novel by Melanie Shawn
Drive. Ambition. Career first. Those words might as well be tattooed on entertainment TV producer Daphne Moore’s forehead. As a retired people pleaser, Daphne was finally prioritizing herself. She had her eye on the prize; the problem was that the 'prize' was starting to lose its appeal.
After seven lackluster years working for a pop culture tabloid show, she was starting to rethink her priorities. A weekend across the country in Firefly Island to celebrate her late grandma sounded like a great distraction and opportunity for a reset before heading back to sunny Southern California. Little did she know that distraction would come in the form of a six-foot-four former baseball player who tempts her to backslide into her old ways.
Farm. Fitness. Family first. That summed up retired pro baseball player Harlan Mitchell's life in four words. After losing his beloved grandma, Harlan found himself shouldering the responsibility of the family legacy and all the financial burden that comes with it.
Growing up, Harlan knew exactly what he wanted: get married, settle down, and preserve the farm that had been in his family for five generations. He never once questioned the trajectory of his life—until he meets a gorgeous blonde-haired, blue-eyed California beauty, who has him rethinking his legacy and his future.
Author’s note: Sweatpants & Sweet Tea is an insta-lust, opposites attract, next-door-neighbor, city girl meets country boy, former pro athlete, small-town romance with a colorful supporting cast of meddling townsfolk and family, lots of spicy swooniness, a splash of humor, and a heap of heartfelt HEA.
Genre: Romance
