From Tessa Bailey comes a steamy friends-to-lovers romance about chemistry, self-worth, and falling for someone who has always hidden behind a reputation.

Hannah Bellinger has always felt like the supporting character in her own life, especially beside her glamorous sister. She loves music, works behind the scenes in film, and is quietly searching for the confidence to step into the spotlight.

Fox Thornton is a king crab fisherman with a reputation as a charming ladies’ man. He is used to people seeing him as fun, flirtatious, and nothing more, so when Hannah treats him like a genuine friend, it catches him completely off guard.

When Hannah returns to Westport for work, she ends up staying in Fox’s spare room. What starts as friendship, teasing, and shared playlists slowly turns into something neither of them can ignore. But Hannah is trying to figure out her own heart, and Fox has to decide whether he is brave enough to be more than the role everyone expects him to play.

Romantic, funny, and full of tension, Hook, Line, and Sinker explores friendship, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to believe you deserve real love.
