Book Description
Never mix business with pleasure... Marigold Appleton was made for the laid-back beach life of picturesque WaterColor, Florida. Unfortunately, her bank account was not. She's about to lose her gift shop due to her hidden location. When the town which rarely allows hotels announces they are designating a plot of land for one, Marigold convinces her father to bid on the land and build one of his boutique hotels on it so she can move her shop into it. But also bidding on the same plot of land is property developer and insanely hunky Dane Knight. She's got to keep her guard up, because his interest in her may be only to get her to drop her bid for the land. She just wishes he wasn't the first guy in years to make her knees buckle. For weeks, Dane has been trying to get the girl he met at the bonfire out of his brain. As she crystalizes in front of him at the bar of the WaterColor clubhouse, he knows his daydreams of her didn't stack up to the real thing. But he just got out of a poisonous relationship. His ex has a bad habit of dropping her kids off without notice, and he's too big of a sucker for them to say no. A relationship with Marigold is out of the question. But after he gives in to his weakness for her for the first time, he knows he's never going to be able to get her out of his heart. WaterColor Wishes is book four in the Love Along Hwy 30A series, which features beautiful beach communities, a circle of unique and amazing friends, and romances that will have you cheering on the couples and fanning yourself from the heat. All books are standalone and can be enjoyed in or out of order.

Two fake dates, one growing connection… Bailey: Not another wedding. At the last one, I was so sick of my many cousins asking why I was still single that I invented a fake boyfriend. Now I’ve got to make one materialize. Luckily my buddy Cohen needs a date to his high school reunion to make his ex jealous. He scratches my back and I scratch his. I don’t mind scratching his, by the way. He’s the hottest guy at the resort where we both work. Bad Bailey. I’m not going there. I spent the past few years pining after a guy I work with. I won’t humiliate myself like that, not again. But boy, is it tempting… Cohen: I’ve always thought Bailey was a fun, cute girl—the life of the party. My jaw drops when she walks out of the hotel room looking like a siren. I’m worried we’ll never make it downstairs to the reunion. It makes zero sense to date a co-worker. But rules have been broken before, right? I can’t let this thing with her get out of hand. I finally have the chance to start my own landscape design company with a colleague from school. But the opportunity is in Nashville, and Bailey’s here in Florida. I’m still too burned from my last relationship to let anyone in. But Bailey’s knocking at my heart, hard. I’ve just got to keep her from slipping in. Welcome to Destiny Dunes, where the only thing hotter than the Florida sun is the romance between this resort's employees.

“Encourages an intuitive, meditative practice to inspire original creations . . . the sense that everyone should try it . . . pours off of the page.” —Foreword Reviews In this beautiful book, artist Kateri Ewing, author of Look Closer, Draw Better, guides you through a series of simple creative projects using a soulful, meditative, and reflective process. Whether you’re picking up a paint brush for the first time or are an experienced artist, you’ll discover and deepen your creative potential through these exercises, because everyone can make art.

With Watercolor Is for Everyone, you can learn how to build a daily practice and how to set intentions and create, even if you have just 10 minutes a day. The projects draw inspiration from poetry, music, literature, and the natural world, and invite experimentation with a variety of sources, from tarot and oracle cards to rocks and feathers. You’ll pursue your personal passions through accessible projects as you build your artistic skills, confidence, and creativity. “Written in a warm and inviting tone that is both inspirational and aspirational, this is an excellent introduction for artists of all levels to the rewarding medium of watercolor.” —Library Journal (starred review)
