About this listen
Meet the Davenport family! Six brothers and sisters who call picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea home. Successful, brilliant, and passionate, the only thing each of them needs is the perfect partner in love and life.
Hotshot movie star Archer Davenport has never met a stunt he couldn't ace, a challenge he couldn't overcome, or a woman he couldn't have. When he breaks his leg during a dangerous stunt, the production company insists on hiring a live-in caretaker for him. He refuses the help… until he meets Tessa Taylor. She's not only caring and beautiful, she's also as tough on him as a drill sergeant.
Tessa knows all about confident men. She used to be married to one and that didn't go well. Her only solace is her painting, even if she has no talent, as her late husband always claimed. Her biggest problem on this job, however, is that sexy, magnetic Archer makes her toes curl with desire every time he's near. She does everything she can to try to remain professional. But it gets harder and harder every day as she starts to fall for him—and for his amazing family—even though she knows she'll have to leave him for her next client as soon as he's fully recovered.
Arch, however, has no plans to let Tessa disappear once his leg is fully recovered. As the sparks between them grow hotter and hotter, he's determined to show Tessa that she's not only the most incredible and loving woman he's ever known, she's also the most talented.
California Dreaming is part of New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Bella Andre and Nicky Arden's emotional and sexy contemporary romance series. While it can be listened to as a standalone, you'll likely enjoy the other books too.

Story
When introverted cartoonist Remi Stephenson dumps her cheating ex and goes on their Hawaiian vacation solo, even her creative mind can’t imagine being purposely stranded in the ocean…with a handsome, muscular, brave Navy SEAL. Even more unbelievable is the spark between them. Surely this is just rebound hormones. Right? Because who finds their soulmate in the middle of a life-or-death situation? And what would a SEAL want with a curvy, nerdy artist, anyway? Of course, none of those doubts stop Remi and Vincent from making plans to get together back in California, even before they’re rescued.

That is, until good-time Bella's prank takes a bad turn and a sinfully sexy police officer appears on the scene.

Story
One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

I hate my boss. Like, loathe him. Two years ago, he semi-broke my heart and he still doesn’t remember who I am. Okay so I was covered in electric blue body paint, and wearing a wig, but is that a good excuse to not remember the girl you said was your destiny? Now I’m stuck working for the jerk because only he can give me the job I really want—manager of his hotel. When he needs a fake fiancé for business reasons, there’s an easy solution—blackmail. He has to give me a trial run as hotel manager in return for wearing his ring.
