SIGNED Better Than the Beach by Brit Benson

What's better than a sunny beach vacation for my winter break?
Maybe being snowed in with a gorgeous stranger….

Let’s go to the beach for winter break, my sorority sisters said.
It will be a blast, they said.
Sand, salt water, hot surfers.
What more could I want for the holidays?

Well.

Nobody considered the chance for a winter storm grounding all flights,
changing my layover from hours to days and leaving me utterly stranded.
Nobody foresaw the airport bartender who took pity on me,
offering me a room in a charming bed and breakfast.
And certainly one expected a visit from a gorgeous older man.
No one considered any of this.
Especially not me.

Come to the beach for winter break, they said.
It will be so much fun, they said.

But...

I’m starting to think that being snowed in with Professor Nolan Montrose might end up being better than the beach
