A Kiss in the Moonlight by Maria K. Alexander

A secret crush, a moonlit kiss…
Can their fears turn friendship into forever?

Pop star Maddy Kinkaid hasn’t been back to Pelican Bay since a hurricane turned her life upside down ten years ago. Coming home to help reopen the amusement pier brings back all the feelings she’s been avoiding—especially those about Tyler, her best friend’s brother. Caught between her music career and the pull of her hometown, can Maddy overcome her fears and find a way to have it all without losing herself in the process?
Tyler Erickson was on the fast track to an Olympic swimming career when a tragedy changed everything. Now he runs a chain of successful surf and beachwear stores along the Jersey Shore, but has never faced the demons that haunt his dreams. With his paddleboard business about to open, it’s time for Tyler to confront his past—and his lingering feelings for Maddy. Together, they must tackle their fears and rediscover what matters most to see if they have a shot at a future together.
