“Six years, a complex about my freckles, a love for
pastrami, and a fear of failure.
That’s what he gave me before slaughtering my heart and my
faith in men.”
Suffering from the sting of betrayal, twenty-eight-year-old
Avery Johannas quits her job and moves hundreds of miles away to Ocean City,
the beach town of her dreams. With the help of her zany roommate, Jodie, Avery
finds a new career, home, and freedom. Throughout her self-exploration, she
makes only one rule: She won’t give her heart to a man again. She’s living for
herself this time.
But then she meets Jesse.
A tattoo shop owner, the green-eyed Jesse Pearce is wild
with a touch of mystery. As Jesse and Avery explore Ocean City and their
friendship, they’ll have a hard time drawing a line in the sand between their
hearts.
When summer nights get a little more heated than either
expected, they’ll have to ask themselves: Can they let go of
their notions of love, or will their hearts be permanently inked by past
pain?

An English teacher, an author, and a fan of anything pink
and/or glittery, Lindsay’s the English teacher cliché; she loves cats, reading,
Shakespeare, and Poe.
She currently lives in her hometown with her husband, Chad
(her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, Marjorie, and Bob;
and their Mastiff, Henry.
Lindsay’s goal with her writing is to show the power of love
and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her
work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the “typical romance.”
With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult
questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are
sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers
as realistic, poetic, and powerful. Lindsay wants women readers to be able to
say, “I see myself in that novel.” She wants to speak to the modern woman’s
experience while also bringing a twist of something new and exciting. Her aim
is for readers to say, “That could happen,” or “I feel like the characters are
real.” That’s how she knows she’s done her job.
Lindsay’s hope is that by becoming a published author, she
can inspire some of her students and other aspiring writers to pursue their own
passions. She wants them to see that any dream can be attained and publishing a
novel isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
