Faye Ballantine has everything money can buy, and on the exclusive, mist-shrouded shores of Sterling Point, that means she practically owns the lake. As Rory's sister, she's used to pristine multi-million-dollar estates, private boathouses, and an untouchable reputation built on sharp wit and high-society perfection. To her, Sterling Point is just a playground designed to bend to her every demand.
Enter Ellis Anderson.
Grounded, fiercely protective, and deeply tied to the rugged reality of the island, Ellis has zero patience for spoiled heiresses who act like they own the air everyone else breathes. And Faye? She's at the absolute top of his list of people to avoid.
When a series of events forces the silver-spoon Ballantine girl into close quarters with the one guy on the island who refuses to give her a pass, sparks don't just fly-they set the lake on fire. Stranded on open water, trading lethal banter on dark docks, and navigating family secrets that threaten to tear their worlds apart, Faye and Ellis are stuck in each other's orbits with nowhere to run.
Ellis thinks she's just a brat with a pretty face. Faye thinks he's a stubborn, insufferable know-it-all.
Neither of them realized that fine line between hatred and obsession was about to break.
