Overview
This two-book collection brings together Tessa Bailey's beloved Bellinger Sisters romances in one bundle for readers who love contemporary rom-coms with plenty of heat and heart.

About the Books
Written by New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey, the Bellinger Sisters duology pairs glamorous fish-out-of-water setups with genuinely tender character growth. In It Happened One Summer, Piper Bellinger loses her party-girl lifestyle overnight and is shipped off to Westport, a working harbor town, where she's forced to confront who she really is beneath the designer labels. Her clashes with Captain Brendan Taggart, a stoic, big-hearted fisherman, spark a slow-burn romance built on mutual respect and surprising vulnerability. In the follow-up, Hook, Line, and Sinker, Piper's sister Hannah moves in with her longtime platonic friend Fox Thornton after her own life takes an unexpected turn. What begins as an easy, joke-filled living arrangement slowly unravels into real feelings, testing both characters' fear of commitment and their loyalty to each other. Both novels share Bailey's signature blend of laugh-out-loud dialogue, steamy chemistry, and emotionally grounded storytelling, set against the same close-knit coastal town and its colorful cast of recurring locals. Fans of workplace and roommate romance tropes, sisterly bonds, and small-town settings will find plenty to love across both books. As a set, the collection offers a satisfying, complete arc for the Bellinger sisters and makes an easy entry point for readers new to contemporary romantic comedy as well as longtime fans looking to own the series together in matching paperback editions.
