Beach town  Cover Image Book Book

Beach town / Mary Kay Andrews.

Summary:

Greer Hennessy is a struggling movie location scout. Her last location shoot ended in disaster when a film crew destroyed property on an avocado grove. And Greer ended up with the blame. Now Greer has been given one more chance--a shot at finding the perfect undiscovered beach town for a big budget movie. She zeroes in on a sleepy Florida panhandle town. There's one motel, a marina, a long stretch of pristine beach and an old fishing pier with a community casino--which will be perfect for the film's climax--when the bad guys blow it up in an all-out assault on the townspeople. Greer slips into town and is ecstatic to find the last unspoilt patch of the Florida gulf coast. She takes a room at the only motel in town, and starts working her charm. However, she finds a formidable obstacle in the town mayor, Eben Thinadeaux. Eben is a born-again environmentalist who's seen huge damage done to the town by a huge paper company. The bay has only recently been re-born, a fishing industry has sprung up, and Eben has no intention of letting anybody screw with his town again. The only problem is that he finds Greer way too attractive for his own good, and knows that her motivation is in direct conflict with his. Will true love find a foothold in this small beach town before it's too late and disaster strikes?

    <p><b>Told with inimitable heart and humor, Mary Kay Andrews' <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, <i>Beach Town</i>, is the perfect summer destination.</b><br><b><br>SOMETIMES THE PERFECT SETTING...<br> </b>Greer Hennessy is a movie location scout, and picture-perfect is the name of the game. After her last project literally went up in flames, Greer has one more chance to prove herself before her career burns out as well. Now all she needs to do is come up with the ideal beach-town setting for a big-budget movie. When she discovers Cypress Key, one of Florida’s hidden treasures, Greer believes she’s found cinematic gold. If only the town’s mayor, Eben Thibadeaux, would agree.<br><br> <b>CAN LEAD TO A PERFECT DISASTER<br> </b>A lifelong resident of Cypress Key, the last thing Eb wants is for some Hollywood hotshot and her crew—a spoiled “It Boy” lead actor and his entourage, plus fangirls, among them—to come in and shake things up. The only problem is that he finds Greer far too attractive for his own good. . .and, in spite of their squabbles, it’s become clear that the feeling is mutual. But there’s a plot afoot to make sure that old scores are settled, that revenge gets top billing, and that no one gets their happily ever after. But then again, fate has a funny way of stealing the show… <br><br><b><i>Beach Town</i></b> <b>is:</b><br><b><br> “A perfect fit for [your] beach bag.”—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br><b>“Highly entertaining.”—<i>Booklist </i><br><br> “A hit.
