Love in the City by the Sea

Tess Barton is stuck in a rut. She’s working three jobs while trying to get her career as an artist off the ground... and now her sister wants her to run a marathon too?! No thank you!

​

But it’s not just any marathon. It’s the Barcelona marathon and they’d be running in memory of their late sister. She hops a flight but when disaster strikes and Emma can’t make it, Tess finds herself facing a new city and challenge all alone. That is, until an unexpected rendezvous in a little tapas bar with gorgeous Spaniard Roberto.

​

Facing the unknown Tess laces up her trainers, determined to master the marathon...and maybe find love in the city by the sea at the same time.
