Book Description:
Zoe Costas knows trouble when she sees it Zoe's a security specialist and a Costas through and through. Her eccentric, rather dubious family runs an Atlantic City spa that's just this side of legit. So Zoe isn't fooled by the charm or good looks of this Ryan Baldwin when he shows up claiming to be related to Sam, the little girl the Costas family is about to adopt.

But Ryan is Sam's uncle and one of the rich, upright -- and uptight -- Boston Baldwins. Ryan's search for his sister Faith, the family's black sheep, has led him to news of her death, and to a niece he's never met. But someone else has also tracked Sam down -- someone who never wanted the child to be found.

Ryan is determined to protect Sam and find out what really happened to his sister. And Zoe "Whatever-It-Takes" Costas is just the woman to help him do it . . .

Quick fun read about Zoe Costas and her zany family. Zoe faces losing her foster sister Sam and her heart when someone from Sam's past resurfaces. A small mystery is thrown into the mix for good measure. Entertaining.

This is the follow up to "Under the Boardwalk". THANK YOU CARLY PHILLIPS for bringing us even MORE of the crazy Costas family and all the wild things that they do in the name of family and love. Zoe Costas is just trying to figure out her place in the world and her place in love. With the help of her family, a crazy monkey, a foster kid and a hot preppie named Ryan, she finds her way to her own kind of bliss.

Great read with laughs and love. Carly Phillips delivers again!
