In the elite coastal town of Crestice Bay, the rules are simple: the "Summer People" own the view, and the "Townies" maintain it.
Devraj "Dev" Malhorta is a Townie. Between grease-stained shifts at his father's failing car repair shop and hauling luggage at the vineyard, he doesn't have time for the rich girls who treat the bay like their personal jungle. Especially not Liana Kensington.
Liana is the town's jewel-wealthy, generational businessman, and bored enough to take a bet she won't forget. The mission? Make the untouchable, grumpy Dev fall for her by the annual bonfire.
But as the salt ocean air thaws their icy banter, Liana discovers a secret buried in her father's corporate office-a betrayal that links their families in a way they don't know yet.
As the bet turns into real feelings, Liana realizes she isn't just playing with Dev's heart; she's playing on the ruins of his family's legacy.
When the sun sets on the shoreline, will their love survive the truth, or was their romance just another summer fling?
