I fell in love with the dynamic between Hannah and Fox from their first interaction in It Happened One Summer. Fox has truly fallen for her, but is he willing to dig deeper to get past his player exterior to be the man she deserves? When Hannah comes back to town for a film and needs a place to stay, they both realize that their feelings for each other go beyond friendship. So, they strike up an unlikely friendship, texting almost daily and getting to know each other on a level Fox is unfamiliar with. He’s a one-night-stand, love-em-and-leave-em type, and that’s just fine for Hannah, seeing as she has her sights set on her director. Hannah and Fox hit it off the summer she spent in Westport, but Fox doesn’t do relationships. I fell in love with Tessa Bailey’s writing last summer while reading It Happened One Summer, so I was excited to see that Hannah and Fox were getting their own story in Hook, Line, and Sinker. Helping her flirt with another guy is pure torture, but maybe if Fox can tackle his inner demons and show Hannah he’s all in, she’ll choose him instead? Except now she’s walking around in a towel, sleeping right across the hall, and Fox is fantasizing about waking up next to her for the rest of his life and… and… man overboard! He’s fallen for her, hook, line, and sinker.

Living with his best friend should have been easy. As the line between friendship and flirtation begins to blur, Hannah can’t deny she loves everything about Fox, but she refuses to be another notch on his bedpost. Armed with a few tips from Westport’s resident Casanova, Hannah sets out to catch her coworker’s eye… yet the more time she spends with Fox, the more she wants him instead. In fact, she’s nursing a hopeless crush on a colleague and Fox is just the person to help with her lackluster love life. She knows he’s a notorious ladies’ man, but they’re definitely just friends. Now, Hannah’s in town for work, crashing in Fox’s spare bedroom. But he likes her too much to risk a fling, so platonic pals it is.

She’s immune to his charm and looks, but she seems to enjoy his… personality? And wants to be friends? Bizarre. Everyone knows he’s a guaranteed good time–in bed and out–and that’s exactly how he prefers it. King crab fisherman Fox Thornton has a reputation as a sexy, carefree flirt.
