Books like Storming the Castle by Joan Elliott Pickart

The Sexy Beast of the Beach... — James-Steven Payton was built like a dream, handsome beyond belief -- and he was Dr. Maggie O'Leary's new neighbor! But when the gorgeous hunk climbed through her window to invite her to a party, Maggie was convinced that the man was a flake... a free spirit, elusive as the wind and just as irresistible. When he looked at her, she melted like ice cream in the sun, but James-Steven was too devil-may-care -- too much like her father -- to be the love of her life... wasn't he? James-Steven warned the pretty lady next door that all was fair in love and war, that he'd fight to woo and win her, but it was a real battle to get her to smell the flowers or build sand castles on the beach without worrying the tide would wash them away. Maggie adored the sizzling pleasure of his kisses and longed to join her heart to his. Could they find a middle road to travel, cherish now and still dream of forever?
