Max Bauer’s Second Chance (Love in Penrose Beach #6)

A billionaire hiding from his future. A café owner rebuilding her life. One small beach town is about to change everything.

Max Bauer has a decision to make: agree to the marriage arrangement his father demands or finally choose a future for himself.

The last thing he expects is to feel at home in Penrose Beach—or to fall for the guarded café owner who gives him a ride into town after his car breaks down.

Avery Parker didn’t move to the beach looking for love. She came for a fresh start.

But somewhere between apartment renovations, town events, and late-night conversations, Max starts feeling less like a temporary visitor…and more like home.

There’s just one problem: Max’s real life is still waiting for him in New York. And Avery already knows what it feels like to come second to someone else’s plans.
