Susanna Sullivan has a plan. After a rocky start in life, she's put herself on the right path to finish college and become a social worker. With one year left to go, she has a job at the infamous beach bar, the Hut, in her hometown of Bluff's Cove where nothing exciting ever happens... At least until the hunky and world famous mega-movie star Tyler Murray shows up. There to film his next blockbuster, she meets him one night at the Hut only to have him sweep her off her feet. Could Susanna let herself fall into Tyler's arms and give up her dream for her future? Would she end up broken-hearted when he packed it in and moved on? From the minute Tyler made eye contact with Susanna, he knew that she was different than all the other women he'd been with. She was innocent and fresh, so unlike the Hollywood standard he'd become used to. All he wanted was to get her into his bed, at least until he got to know her better. That's when he knew that she was someone who needed his protection. She was hiding something about herself, a secret that he aimed to uncover. He just hoped that he could be the man she needed him to be, not the shiny public figure she thought he was... "October" is the fifth and last book of The Gypsy Moth Chronicles, a small-town romance series, and Bluff's Cove is the place where real dreams actually come true!
