Summary:

It’s a thin line between love and love-hating in the newest laugh out loud, all the feels rom-com by New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center.

Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past—now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole’s request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. The catch? Katie’s not exactly qualified. She can’t swim—but pretends that she can.

Plus, Cole and Hutch are brothers. And they don’t get along. Next stop: paradise! But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good-looking man she has ever seen . . . but maybe a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two. Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue—along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.

FAQ

What is The Book Drop?

The Book Drop is a surprise monthly book subscription service powered by Bethany Beach Books, an independent bookstore in Bethany Beach, Delaware. We shipped our first mailing in 2015! We understand that sadly not everyone has a local, independent bookstore near them so our mission is to help bring the independent bookstore experience to readers. 

When do you ship subscriptions

We ship book subscriptions between the 15th-21st of each month. Readers will receive tracking via email as soon as we start preparing their mailing. One-time orders ship within 2-3 business days and pre-orders ship on their release date.

When will I get my first book?

Our book subscriptions ship the same time every month: between the 15th-21st. Subscribe before the 11th (11:59pm EST) of the mailing month & receive your book with that round of mailings! Subscribe on or after the 12th (12:00am EST) and your first book will ship the following quarterly mailing. As soon as we start packing your subscription, we send an email with tracking information. All one-time products from our Shop ship within 2-3 business days (or on release date for pre-orders).

When will I get billed?

Subscribers will be charged for their first mailing(s) when they sign up. As of 2/16/25, all renewals will process on the 1st of the month. Subscribers have the ability to skip, pause, or cancel via their Book Drop account.
