The Bellinger Sisters series takes you on a journey of self-discovery, finding your voice, and ultimately fighting for the ones you love. Using her classic trifecta of compelling characters, steamy love scenes, and engaging storylines, Tessa Bailey creates a swoon-worthy romance series that you will not be able to put down.
Piper and Hannah Bellinger are two sisters who could not be more different. Piper is the socialite who survives on designer shoes and Instagram selfies, while Hannah’s definition of fun is curling up on the couch with her vinyl records spinning softly in the background.
But despite being as similar as fire and ice, these sisters have an unbreakable bond that serves as the quiet, invisible thread that connects this series together.
Book 1 – It Happened One Summer
Summary
Piper’s idea of “breaking a sweat” is finding the best angle to take a glamorous Instagram selfie for her millions of followers. However, when her socialite lifestyle gets out of hand, her stepfather decides to teach her the meaning of hard work by sending her to the small fishing town of Westport, Washington.
There, she meets Brendan Taggert, a local and grumpy fisherman who is unhappy with the disruption she causes in the town and in his heart, making him feel things he hasn’t felt in a long time.
But the more he tries to avoid Piper, the more he finds himself drawn to her. It is a small town, after all. As they both learn to navigate new emotional territories, they realize that change isn’t as scary as it seems, and that charting a new course is much less daunting with someone by your side.

Book 2 – Hook, Line and Sinker
Summary
Hannah and Fox are two souls who grew up underestimating their own potential. Hannah, who has often taken a backseat to others, is now determined to seize control of her life and become a leading lady in her own right.
Meanwhile, Fox strives to be worthy of the love of someone as pure and sweet as Hannah. Despite a rocky start to their friendship in book 1, Hook, Line and Sinker rebuilds and grows their friendship by balancing heartwarming moments with undeniable chemistry.
By addressing issues such as toxic masculinity, Tessa Bailey delivers a powerful and inspiring story about believing in oneself and fighting for the one you love.
