Love Me Like. You Do

He came to Ocean Shores to disappear. She's never been good at leaving people alone.

Jax Ridley moved into the Ocean Shores apartment building with a guitar he barely touches, a past he refuses to talk about, and a name he hopes no one recognizes. After a public scandal changed everything, he's done with attention, music, and letting people get close.

Kaia Mercer is a paramedic who can't stop helping people-even when she probably should.

When a late-night accident and an elderly neighbor's decades-old mystery throw them together, hidden music, forgotten memories, and unexpected attraction make staying detached impossible.

Between beachside barbecues, nosy neighbors, found family, and a community that refuses to leave anyone alone, Jax and Kaia may discover that the last thing either of them expected is exactly what they needed.

Love Me Like You Do is a heartwarming, slow-burn contemporary romance featuring neighbors-to-lovers, a hero with secrets, hidden identity, found family, emotional healing, and a beachside community readers will want to move into. Each book in the Ocean Shores series stands alone-but once you visit, you'll want to come back.
