Mac offers to help her with her confidence by helping her in the bedroom. We all know that trope, and let’s be honest, we all love it. Watching Mac and Freya bicker and maybe fall in love a little is a good time, definitely worth a read.

Tess is a type-A, tightly wound assistant principal who is about to turn 40. Her relaxing resort vacation-turned-working-trip is flipped on its head when she meets Lucas, resort tennis instructor, and former tennis pro. Their meet-cute involves a wave and a bikini halter top that refuses to stay tied. Possibly one of my most favorite meet-cutes ever.
