After years of living in Italy with her mother and brother, Elina Blair Whitmore returns to the one place she'd sworn she'd never call home: her father's house in sunny Los Angeles. Her parents can't stand each other, and her father's rigid expectations are stifling from the moment she walks through the door. But that's not the worst part. Next door lives a mysterious, sharp-tongued, and effortlessly captivating woman. Their fathers are best friends, which should make them fast allies, but instead, the woman is everything Elina can't stand: spoiled, mean, and impossible to ignore.

The town of Lake Placid remained as quiet as ever, the cold still lingering in the air as you walked into the café. It had become your place, the warmth, the coffee, and the cozy corner where you often found Lizzy. She still greeted you with that same sweet smile, but there was a new understanding in the air between you two, an unspoken connection that felt like the beginning of something more. For now, you were content with the small moments, knowing that whatever would come next, it had to start somewhere.

Every summer, I see her. Elizabeth Grant, the cigarette smoking, sharp-tongued, impossibly beautiful girl across the lake. The girl I've spent years loving in silence, pretending I don't feel the way I do. She's mean, untouchable, and so heartbreakingly beautiful it makes me ache. We've never been friends. We've never been lovers. But every summer, we dance around each other like we don't know how this story ends. Because I always leave. And she never asks me to stay. But this summer feels different. The glances last longer. The silence between us hums with something electric. She looks at me like she's daring me to cross the line we've drawn between us for years. And God help me-I think I might. Because I don't just love Elizabeth Grant. I want her, in a way that will ruin me.
