Beach Town Format: Paperback

Kira Drake lives in the closet to protect her skyrocketing movie career. Controlled by her mother and her domineering agent, Kira’s love life consists of hidden affairs and short liaisons. But then a location shoot takes her to Ocean Beach, California―an idyllic seaside town. Away from her mother and agent, Kira savors her freedom and is charmed by the liberal locals who seem to embrace everyone.

Flynn McFadden, a veterinary student and surfing instructor, quickly catches Kira’s eye, and the women fall for each other almost immediately. But when Kira’s mother and agent discover their relationship, a plot is hatched to break them apart. Kira soon realizes she must choose between her love for Flynn and the realization of her lifelong dream.

Ann Roberts is the author of numerous romance and general fiction books, as well as the award-winning Ari Adams mystery series. Ann is a native Arizonan who should have been born near an ocean and a lighthouse. She loves to find a beach whenever possible and has set several of her stories near the Pacific Ocean. She recently married her partner after nearly twenty-one years together, and she wonders how such a wonderful woman would tolerate living with a writer for so long.

For many years Ann was an English teacher and was thrilled every time a high school student found the joy of writing. While many of her budding author protégées promised to split the royalties of their future best sellers with her, she has yet to see a check from any of them.

Ann enjoys a good joke, excellent red wine, watching movies, debating social issues, reading (of course!), going to plays and spending time with friends. She loves hearing from readers and can be reached through her website, annroberts.net or on Facebook.
