At twenty-two, Nova-Emman Laurent has spent her entire life chasing winter. As one of the most promising skiers in the world and a leading prospect for the next Winter Olympics, her days are measured in altitude, discipline, and the relentless pursuit of gold. Mountains make sense to her. Ice makes sense to her. The ocean does not. When her mother announces her engagement to a man living on the opposite coast, Nova-Emman is forced to trade snow-covered peaks for a sun-drenched beach town she never asked to call home. She tells herself she's there to support her mother, even if a part of her still resents the idea of someone else occupying the space her father left behind. Then she meets Stellan Song-Mercer. With blond curls bleached by the sun, honey-tanned skin, and a calm that seems as endless as the sea itself, Stellan is everything Nova-Emman is not-easy where she is guarded, grounded where she is always chasing the next summit. He was born to the water just as surely as she was born to the mountains. What begins as an uneasy summer under the same roof turns into surf lessons, late-night drives, bonfires on the beach, and a connection neither of them expected. But some currents are stronger than pride, and some distances are greater than geography. Because summer ends. The snow will call her back. The tide will remain where it has always been. And when the season is over, Nova-Emman must decide whether she can let go of the life she planned-and whether there is room in her heart for more than one kind of home. She belonged to the mountains. He belonged to the sea. Neither of them expected to be swept away. Set for 100 Chapters!
