I never understood why me. Why did I of all people catch his eye? What was it about me that was so alluring to him? So appetising? He's terrifying. I should run, run far away. Yet, my legs don't move. I don't want to run. Am I falling for my stalker? Is this going to be the worst mistake of my life? "Caught you, my little dove."

Ivy knows it's time to return to her childhood seaside town to battle the demons of her past. Two years away from her friends, family and the beloved sandy beach that holds such a special place in her heart. She knows the visit will be painful but she's ready to find her closure. With wishes to build new memories to mask the old ones, nothing can tear her down anymore. When Ivy pulls up outside the house she grew up in, she's reunited with her older brother, not long before he drops the bomb that his best friend from university will be staying with them for the summer. His friend, JJ, who Ivy soon remembers she had a steamy one-night stand with less than a week ago. It was a night of sambuca shots, laughter and lots of... pleasure. Ivy knows one thing for sure-despite her utter shock and concern for the situation-her brother can never find out. Not if they both want to keep their sanity. But will their attraction for each other get them into trouble? It might be worth the risk. 18+
