Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immerse yourself in a collection of the first three full-length romances in Lucy Lakestone's sizzling Bohemia Beach Series! In a beautiful small city on Florida’s east coast, artists meet, create, laugh and love. Where restless hearts are fueled by secrets and imagination, romance is impossible to resist. Welcome to the seductive tropical escape that’s home to drama, humor and lots of heat – Bohemia Beach. These steamy contemporary romances are the perfect escape for anyone who loves a hot love story. In this boxed set of three novels, you'll find stories of an artist's obsession with a mysterious patron, a photographer seduced by a big-wave surfer, and a musician who discovers unexpected fire in an old friend. Bohemia Beach (Book 1 - Sloane and Alex's story): Alex is a mystery: Secretive. Rich. Way too hot for his own good. I’m an artist just trying to make it as a potter, and why he wants me, I don’t know. I’m starting over in this beautiful beach town, and saying “yes” to him is part of the adventure. Until yes becomes something more. My new artist friends are quirky and cool. My teacher is alarmingly obnoxious. I’m working hard to get into the big juried exhibition. And I keep losing myself in Alex’s arms. He’s insatiable. I’m addicted. But under his quietly forceful exterior is a man wounded to his core. Can obsession turn into love? And can passion overcome the past? Or is Alex the worst best thing that ever happened to me? Bohemia Light (Book 2 - Cali and Wyatt's story): Wherever I go, I’m there to shoot the photos. Not get entangled with pro surfers looking for a dalliance before they split town. Whether Wyatt is trying to set me up with his famous jerkwad friend or coaxing me to test my limits, I’m not sure if I should hate him or give him everything. He’s a photographer, too, but I’m afraid what’s developing between us will expose feelings I’d rather not have. I’ll be glad when he leaves. I need to focus on setting up my new business. Besides, how could I ever be with a surfer? The ocean terrifies me. Still, some temptations are impossible to resist, especially when they don’t have consequences. But after our reckless tryst, Wyatt’s still in Bohemia Beach. Will he stay or will he go? He’s inconveniently irresistible. And I can’t seem to keep my heart above water. Bohemia Blues (Book 3 - Ez and Gary's story): Maybe I’m sick of dating losers, but they’re just so convenient. They don’t expect much. I expect even less. And I really don’t want the complications of, say, dating an old friend from high school who follows my band around like a groupie. But when my latest boy toy goes ballistic at a gig, who’s there to rescue me? Gary. And there’s no chemistry with Gary. Or at least that’s what I thought until the moment he set my world on fire. There’s no reason a good guy like that would want a gal with such a bad reputation, even if I have a big secret that proves just how undeserved that reputation is. OK, a few big secrets, secrets that could make this friends-to-lovers experiment blow up in our faces. I just want to make music, not fall in love with a dorky artist. A super-hot dorky artist who takes my breath away and always believes the best of me, even when I know I’m the worst. (Winner of the Golden Quill and a National Readers' Choice Award finalist)

Book excerpt: Chris Landrum is about to have it all-an extended vacation, a second home at the beach, and early retirement in his fifties. There's only one glitch: murder is part of the package on the small South Carolina barrier island of Folly Beach, where eccentric residents live bohemian lifestyles in the shadow of historic Charleston. Soon after settling in Folly Beach, Chris is befriended by an unlikely cadre of quirky locals: a real estate agent who looks like an out-of-season Santa with an attitude; a waitress who shares rumors and effuses charm; a professor; a lovely, intelligent, and unattached reporter; and a president-quoting, tag-along companion. He is fascinated by the company of his newfound friends, the novelty of the strange island that they call home, and the contrast of it all with stately Charleston. But when Chris finds the body of a prominent developer and lands in the middle of the Folly Beach spotlight, he immediately becomes a threat to the killer-and his vacation paradise might be the scene of his own untimely death. Vacations aren't nearly as much fun when one of your new acquaintances is trying to kill you, and catching a murderer is not the normal way to spend an extended holiday. But on Folly Beach, what's normal?
