Shipbuilt Shenanigans is a small-town, swoony romance series that takes place in the coastal Maine town of Shipbuilt.
Grab a caramel latte and a cinnamon roll from The Cream Puff, pick up your home improvement needs at Ed’s Hardware, then step into Feeling Pine Books to browse the shelves for something new to read.
On the patio of Off the Hook with a Maine crafted beverage and a lobster roll, you can watch the epic Maine wildlife in the bay–seals peeking above the water, herons gliding overhead, gulls squawking for a handout.
Each book is a standalone, but the characters and town dramas carry through each book.
Small-town seafood shack vs. Mega-chain seafood restaurant: It’s a fight till the end, even when the sparks fly
Shake N Tail is the premier lobster shack of coastal Maine and for the past nine months, since Dad’s accident, I’ve been shackled to it as I attempt to save us from the mountains of medical bills.
When Ben walks through the shack’s door, looking like an L.L. Bean model, my heart beats to a rhythm it hasn’t felt in a long time. But, when I find out Ben is the competition, threatening to put my family’s struggling lobster shack livelihood out of business with his mega-chain seafood restaurant…well, let’s just say my lobsters are not going down without a fight. It doesn’t matter that his scruffiness, chiseled body, and obnoxious kindness might just be my kryptonite.
You’ve Got Love and Lobsters is a steamy, enemies to lovers romance, and is the first in the standalone small-town Shipbuilt Shenanigans series. It’s filled with snark, epic Maine scenery, and lots of butter.
Recipe– add a curvy Sassy Sunshine and a burly Lobsterman Grump together in a one-bed hotel room.
Sprinkle in puzzles, tattoos, a baking competition, motorcycles, and an adorable dog.
Mix well.
Bake until soft and delicious on the inside.
I may be the best baker in Shipbuilt, Maine, but to my senator mom, I’ve wasted my life…and my waistline. Mom demands I bring a +1 for her weekend birthday celebration, even though I don’t have a boyfriend or time. My application for the Pastries of the Northeast Competition is my golden ticket to an apprenticeship, and to buy Shipbuilt’s bakery, The Cream Puff. I have to perfect my recipes, and it’s my busiest time of the year—December.
Birch is just one of a thousand tattooed, gruff lobstermen in Maine, right? But when his insight and care for my creations come to light, maybe he can help me with more than one problem and be my fake date for the weekend. The trouble is, the oven’s hot, and I’ve been burned before. He’s sworn off romance, I’ve sworn off men from Maine. What could go wrong?
Jane and Her Tattooed Cinnamon Roll is a deliciously steamy one bed, fake relationship, curvy girl + hot cinnamon roll hero with a guaranteed HEA. It’s the second standalone book of the Shipbuilt Shenanigans small-town series. The books can be read in any order, but the characters and town drama started in book 1.
What happens on a tropical island stays on a tropical island…Right??
I love to mark off all the boxes of my to-do lists; love to plan what comes next. But one box that remains permanently unchecked is the relationship status box. Frustrated after another failed date, my friends convince me that a week of sand and sun will revive me and help me shake free of failed dating apps, work, and the dreariness of spring in Shipbuilt.
First day in my tropical paradise and I faint, probably from dehydration, falling into the arms of my new hero, Carlos. He promises me the week of a lifetime, and I let myself believe him. It’s easy to do with his bronzed muscles and dimpled smile. After all, you only live once.
His ease of all things island life–from motorcycles to waterfall jumps to finding the tastiest coconuts and pineapples, lull me into letting go of my need to be in control and let him take the lead.
For a brief flicker of time, I think there might be more to our fling than just hot tropical lust, but Carlos ghosts me soon after I leave the Caribbean paradise. Vacation over, reality smacks hard: cold gray days, long hours at work, and a positive pregnancy test.
You’ve Got Love in Paradise is a juicy, steamy vacation romance, complete with a cinnamon roll hero, accidental pregnancy, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA. It’s a standalone in the small-town series, Shipbuilt Shenanigans.
Will the fates allow love to find a second chance while they’re snowed in together at his cabin?
It may be a small town, but I’m an expert at avoiding Eben Henson. In fact, I’ve been Eben free for a decade. When my co-worker injures himself, I get his mail route—the one with the big hills outside of town, and the man who broke my heart. Too bad delivering his mail makes me feel like a bear must feel when she sees salmon.
Six days a week, all through December when I deliver his mail, he’s there, looking as tall and sexy and charming as ever. And when a blizzard is underway when I deliver his mail on Christmas Eve…and doesn’t stop…well, baby, it’s cold outside.
Snowed In Delivery for Christmas is a steamy, snowed-in, later in life, second chance novella with a curvy heroine who knows what she wants. It takes place in the small town series of Shipbuilt Shenanigans.
