Marcus is a cross-fit enthusiast and a bit of a gym rat. Or trying so hard to convince himself he’s straight, anyway. He’s appointed himself Jamie’s friend, which Jamie doesn’t really mind – he likes Marcus – although it would be easier on him if Marcus wasn’t so gorgeous or so straight. For the last three summers, Marcus O’Shaughnessy – aka Diesel – has been a constant fixture, both on the beach and at the bar (where he works as a bouncer), and for the past three summers he’s driven Jamie nuts he’s like a big, lumbering puppy who insists on staying close, always taking the chair next to his on their lifeguarding shifts, chatting to him amiably about everything and nothing, and is kind of impossible to shake off.
Jamie Prince teaches Economics at a private school in Brooklyn but comes home to Long Beach in the summers to help out with the family business, tending bar at the Castle Gate pub and moonlighting as a lifeguard at the beach. (Books one and three are m/f romances.) I admit that I picked it up primarily because Kale Williams is one of the narrators, but also because I know Tessa Bailey is a popular author of contemporary romance and I’ve never read or listened to her before, so this was a good opportunity to do that.
Tessa Bailey’s Heat Stroke is the middle book in her Beach Kingdom trilogy from 2018-19, about the three Prince brothers, who run a bar in Long Beach.
