Please give a big, warm welcome to contemporary romance author, Roxanne St. Claire, who is joining us today on tour with her brand new series, Barefoot Bay, and her new release of Barefoot in the Sand! 
Roxanne, please list 5 reasons why readers should pick up a copy of Barefoot in the Sand today.


1.  Because it’s summer!  And you know you want to go to the beach -- either for real or in your imagination.


2.  There are no sparkly vampires, no shapeshifters, no mythological creatures rising from the sea...there is one super hot hero who knows how to show a girl a particularly good time in the water.


3.  There’s nothing like a rollercoaster...of emotion!  If you love to laugh, cry, get mad, get worried, cheer, and fall head over heels in love, this is the book for you!


4.  There are zero calories and this much fun has been proven to slow the aging process significantly.


5.  Romantic Times gave it their highest rating of 4.5 and Kristan Higgins called it “lush, lovely, and layered -- one of the best books I’ve read all year.”


And...Bonus Reason #6:  Awesome publisher Grand Central/Forever have priced both the print and ebook at a very wallet-friendly $5.99.  How can you miss???

When all you hold dear is taken away . . . 
When a hurricane roars through Lacey Armstrong's home on the coast of Barefoot Bay, she decides all that remains in the rubble is opportunity. A new hotel is just what Mimosa Key needs, and Lacey and her teenage daughter are due for a fresh start. And nothing, especially not a hot,younger architect, is going to distract Lacey from finally making her dreams a reality. 
A second chance is the only thing you have left.
Love has already cost Clay Walker everything. And if he's going to have any chance of picking up the pieces of his life, he needs the job as Lacey Armstrong's architect. What's not in the plans is falling for the headstrong beauty. Her vision of the future is more appealing than anything he could have ever drafted for himself. Will Clay's designs on Lacey's heart be more than she can handle, or will she trust him to build something that will last forever?
