About this ebook

Welcome to the small town of Cloud Bay where the weather is great, the music is fire, and love is complicated…

She doesn’t believe in happy endings and he needs a new beginning

Growing up in the shadow of her rock god dad taught Faith Harper that fame has a price. When her own music career fizzled, she came home to tiny Cloud Bay. She’s perfectly happy running CloudFest, the music festival that’s one part of her father’s legacy, staying out of the spotlight, and keeping men strictly temporary. And when she lays eyes on Caleb White’s gorgeous face, she knows no one would blame her for choosing him for a summer fling. He’s perfect—a hot famous guy who’ll leave quietly when they’re done.

Caleb has been number one in the tennis world for a long time. But he can’t play forever, and he needs a new plan. When his best friend announces he’s going to CloudFest, Cloud Bay sounds like the perfect place to figure things out with no distractions. Until he meets Faith. Kissing her is more than a distraction, it’s downright addictive. And soon he’s not sure he wants to let her go. Convincing Faith to believe in love is going to take more than music and hot summer nights and it’s a match he can’t afford to lose, because it’s his whole heart on the line.

Previously published as Need You Now by Emma Douglas.

Don’t Blame Me is the first book in the Cloud Bay series, a steamy small town island romance series. This series has beach vibes, rock’n’roll families, small town drama, the odd cute dog, and sexy times. Enjoy!

l loved this book. I very much enjoyed Faith Harper and Caleb White's story in the first book of this new series. Faith Harper was immediately interested and attracted to Caleb White upon laying eyes on him when he first disembarked onto the island from the ferry ship but Faith tried very hard to resist giving into her attraction to him. But eventually she gives in and they have a secret relationship whilst he is on the island during an annual music festival that her deceased rock star father started and she continues to organise. Caleb (a just suddenly retired famous tennis player who's hiding from his coach, agent and the press) was invited by his friend to take a break on the island during the music festival, upon immediately laying eyes on Faith he too is attracted and interested in her. They both give into their feelings but Faith doesn't want anyone knowing that they have hooked up. Caleb shows with both actions and words that he seriously cares about her, protects her from her family and friends, has her best interests at heart and he respects her decision in not telling anyone they are seeing each other. They both eventually realise that they're starting to seriously have feelings for each other and it isn't just an island fling.

About the author

Melanie Scott would love to live in a world where professional napping was a thing. But until then, she thinks writing books is a pretty awesome alternative. When not writing about imaginary people, she can be found reading, doing something crafty, binge watching TV, playing her latest song crush on repeat, or otherwise avoiding housework. She lives in Melbourne, Australia in a tiny house stuffed full of books, too many craft supplies, and a varying number of feline overlords who take up more space than you would expect. She also writes romantic fantasy and urban fantasy as M.J. Scott.
