Beach House No. 9
3 primary works
Book 1
USA TODAY bestselling author Christie Ridgway introduces a sizzling new series set in Crescent Cove, California, where the magic of summer can last forever...
When book doctor Jane Pearson arrives at Griffin Lowell's beach house, she expects a brooding loner. After all, his agent hired her to help the reclusive war journalist write his stalled memoir. Instead, Jane finds a tanned, ocean-blue-eyed man in a Hawaiian shirt, hosting a beach party and surrounded by beauties.
Faster than he can untie a bikini top, Griffin lets Jane know he doesn't want her. But she desperately needs this job and digs her toes in the sand. Griffin intends to spend the coming weeks at Beach House No. 9 taking refuge from his painful memories-and from the primly sexy book doctor who wants to bare his soul. But warm nights, moonlit walks, and sultry kisses just may unlock both their guarded hearts...
Book 2
Return to USA TODAY bestselling author Christie Ridgway's Crescent Cove, California, where the magic of summer can last forever…
Combat medic Vance Smith made a promise to a fallen officer: to treat the man’s young daughter to an idyllic vacation at Beach House No. 9. One month, some sun and surf, a “helmet list” of activities to check off, and Vance will move on. But the “little girl” he’s expecting turns out to be a full grown woman.
With silky hair, big brown eyes, and smelling sweetly of the cupcakes she makes for her mobile bakery, Layla Parker is irresistible. And Vance shouldn't lay a finger on her. Honor—and one heck of a scarred heart—says so. To Layla, Vance is a hero who was injured trying to save her father’s life.
She intends to spend their month of lazy days and warm nights taking very good care of the gorgeous soldier—inside and out . . .

Globe-trotting photojournalist Gage Lowell spent carefree childhood summers in Crescent Cove. Now that he desperately needs some R&R, he books a vacation at Beach House No. 9-ready to soak up some sun and surprise old friend and property manager Skye Alexander.
Their long-distance letters got him through a dangerous time he can't otherwise talk about. But when he arrives, the tightly-wound beauty isn't exactly happy to see him. Skye knows any red-blooded woman would be thrilled to spend time with gorgeous, sexy Gage.
But she harbors secrets of her own, including that she might just be a little bit in love with him. And she's convinced the restless wanderer won't stay long enough for her to dare share her past-or dream of a future together. Luckily for them both, summer at Crescent Cove has a way of making the impossible happen...
