California Dreaming: The Davenports, Book 1

The Davenports is a Top 100 Amazon bestselling romance series set in picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea, following six successful siblings searching for love.

In California Dreaming, movie star Archer Davenport—famous for taking on any stunt or challenge—breaks his leg during a dangerous scene. When the studio hires a live-in caretaker, he refuses—until he meets Tessa Taylor, a strong, caring woman who isn’t afraid to stand up to him.

Tessa, recovering from a painful marriage to a controlling man, finds comfort in painting—even though her late husband told her she had no talent. Working for Archer is supposed to be temporary, but his charm and kindness make it hard to stay professional. As their attraction deepens, Tessa falls for Archer and his loving family, even though she knows she’ll have to leave when he recovers. Archer, however, is determined to prove that Tessa is not only talented but also the woman he wants forever.
