He was my best friend, and now I hate him. So why do I keep kissing him?
There was a time when Ash and I were inseparable.
When I moved high schools, we went from friends to rivals. I could deal with that. But when he hooked up with my ex-girlfriend? We became enemies overnight.
The Ozarks is a big lake, but somehow, he's always in my way. First, at a flashy rival boat company, where we're always knockin' boats on booze cruises. Sometimes literally. Now, at the newly redeveloped Swallow Cove resort where I'm based.
Ash has some hair-brained idea to run a food boat for the resort. It's a silly fad that will never last. All flash and no substance, like him. But now, there's no avoiding the guy. Or his annoying face and perfect hair and cocky smiles always flashing my way.
Ash has always gotten whatever he wanted. My sports trophies. My ex-girlfriend. A job with my friends. But as tension mounts between us and the heat of anger boils over into lust, I start to wonder: What if the thing he wants most is me?
Knockin' Boats is book three of the Swallow Cove series. It features ex-besties to enemies to lovers, a double bi-awakening, a super tight friend group, and a quirky lake town.
