When Renee Belmont wakes up with a blinding hangover, she thinks things can't get any worse. She's wrong. Oh, so wrong. Her best friend and boyfriend who made the cross-country trip from Toledo, Ohio, to Long Beach, California, with her have run off together—in her car, where her secret stash of cash is hidden!—leaving her stranded with nothing but one measly suitcase. When Long Beach Police Officer Zac Jones encounters Renee on a park bench, his initial assumption is that she's high, homeless, or a plain ol' hot mess. But something rings true when she reluctantly confesses the trouble she's in, and he offers her a temporary job helping care for his grandmother, promising to do what he can to track down her stolen car. Although Renee is the one in dire straits, Zac soon discovers she isn't the only person who needs to be rescued. Falling in Long Beach is a sexy, sassy contemporary romance set against the small town vibes of Long Beach's historic neighborhoods and vibrant waterfront. Come along and fall in love on the beach.
