Kiss My Putt (Summersweet Island Book 1)Ā by Tara Sivec
āPalmer āPalā Campbell has epic breakdown on the 18th hole of the Bermuda Open! Video at 11.ā
After spending my entire pro golfing career being known as the quiet, controlled, no-nonsense golfer on the tour, thereās nothing more humiliating than throwing all of that down the draināor into a water hazardāon national television. Needing some place to hide, to lick my wounds and figure out what I even want to do with my life once this blows over, I can only think of one place I need to be. Summersweet Island, where everyone treats me like one of their own, and theyāll all be happy to have me home again.
Well, except maybe one person. Itās been two years since I last set foot on Summersweet Island or spoke to anyone there. But Iām sure Birdie Bennett, my best friend since I was 15 and the clubhouse manager of my favorite golf course, has had plenty of time to forgive me for that tiny little misunderstanding where I blocked her on social media and blocked her in my phone. Oh, and I guess I kind of, sort of accused her of being a stalker. Itās fine!
Once my sexy, spunky, former best friend gets over the shock of seeing me again and stops trying to drive a 9-iron into my skull, I can finally let her know Iāve also kind of, sort of always been in love with her…

Swing and a Mishap (Summersweet Island Book 2) by Tara Sivec
āHawks fans still in shock after centerfielder, Shepherd Oliver, sustained season-ending injury last night in the 5th inning of the playoffs against Chicago.ā
Two years ago, I was a pretty big deal. I thought I had it all, until a blast from my past popped up on my social media feed, keeping my ego in check and reminding me how basic I am. Except sassy Wren Bennett isnāt just a blast from my past. Sheās the only woman I ever saw a future with.
Even though my soul leaves my body every time she says she hates baseball and has never watched me play, a yearās-worth of messages filled with laughter and sarcasm only remind me how amazing my āpen palā is. Unfortunately, it doesnāt matter how fine I look in a pair of baseball pants; Iām still 3,000 miles away, and sheās taken… or so I thought. Maybe I should have thought a little harder before I dropped her like a seeing-eye single into the outfield.
When an injury has me questioning everything about my life, I can only think of one place I need to go and one person I need to see. Home, to Summersweet Island, to get back my āpen pal.ā
Now I just need to make sure single mom Wren knows I didnāt come back for a change, and I didnāt come back for a job. Iām swinging for the fences, and Iām finally coming home to make her mine. If only sheād stop insulting me and stay in one place long enough for me to tell her. She wouldnāt try to drown me with a tub of ice cream, right?
Iām sure itāll be fine.

Dashing Through the No (Summersweet Island Book 3) by Tara Sivec
āTwas the week before Christmas and all through Summersweet,
Tess Powell was annoyed and wanted to retreat.
With a BIC in her hand and a frown on her face,
everyone knew she needed a break from this place.
Wanting the holiday to be nothing but the best,
Bodhi took his girlfriend to the mountains to rest.
While visions of fire happily danced in Tessās head,
soon she would see she had everything to dread.
Crying kids, singing hippos, and a stalker with a van,
definitely wasnāt part of Bodhiās evacuation plan.
But all he wanted for Christmas was for her to say yes,
to the question he kept asking with zero finesse.
With some help from new friends and their holiday cheer,
Tess and Bodhi get much more
than they asked Santa for this year.
