She just has to get in, get out, and get on with her life. But then Beck Billingsley wedges his steel-toed boot in the door…

Wedding planner Dallas Olivia Cardon is moments away from achieving her lofty career dreams at the big-city firm she hopes to inherit when a misunderstanding leads to her getting fired.
Rushing off to lick her wounds at her new job in Willow Cove, Dallas figures a few months on the beach couldn’t hurt as she tries to rebuild her portfolio and her reputation. She even meets a hot, flirty guy on her very first day in town. Maybe this temporary position might actually be a little enjoyable?
Maybe not.
Beck Billingsley is Willow Cove’s most eligible bachelor, but he’s not interested in settling down. His past has taught him that commitment equals heartbreak–and the meddling of everyone in town. He only wants to run his construction company, serve the people he grew up idolizing, and play too much beach volleyball.
So when a case of mistaken identity ends up putting him at odds with the new wedding planner assigned to her favorite project, he finds her no-nonsense, git ‘er done personality frustrating.
Unfortunately, Beck and Dallas have to figure out how to renovate a seaside, historical venue for the wedding of the year without killing each other. Even more unfortunately, their verbal spars leave him wanting more, and he cannot get her out of his head.
It just may be impossible for him to let her go.
To Have and To Scold is a sweet, kisses-only standalone in the multi-author Sweet Coastal Kisses series. It has sizzling enemies to lovers vibes, an HGTV-style venue renovation, as well as adorable animal antics of Ace, the Golden Retriever, and a reappearance of Prince Harry the llama!
