About the Book

He was used to getting what he wanted.

And what he wanted was Claire. 

As an explosive ordnance disposal specialist, Dillon Slater had one of the most dangerous jobs in the military. Now he’s enjoying the pace of life in Shelter Bay, where he teaches high school physics.  He still gets to blow things up, but as the school’s basketball coach, he also gets to impart leadership skills.  His latest minefield: fifteen-year-old Matt Templeton — and Matt’s irresistible mother…

Claire Templeton moved her troubled teenage son to the small town of  Shelter Bay to escape the bad influences of his school in L.A.  But when his attitude earns her a visit from the handsome basketball coach, she wonders if this role model might be too much of a temptation — for her.  Because, although she isn’t looking for a relationship, she can’t seem to resist Dillon’s playful charm. But what she doesn’t realize is that Dillon isn’t playing games — he’s playing for keeps.

Reviews

“An engaging, fun, light romance centered on small-town life, where people often help fight your battles and share your successes. This is the fifth in a series and can be read as a stand-alone; however, characters from other books reappear and share their continuing lives.  My rating: I recommend it.”

– Pam Brewer, Idaho Statesman 

“Beautifully descriptive and gently paced, this heart-warmer captures coastal small town flavor perfectly and nails the high school vibe. A perfect read for a long winter’s night.”

– Library Journal

“A fast-paced novel about romantic relationships, parent-child relationships and teacher-student relationships.  The narrative voice has a humor and rhythm that is fun to read; the teenagers walk the walk and talk the talk of real teenagers, and the conversations among the adults are witty, kind, and meaningful.”

– Kirkus Reviews

“SEA GLASS WINTER will wrap you in warmth and good feeling. I’ve read many who say this series will make you want to move to Shelter Bay.  I can only say ‘ditto.’”
