Graham "Gray" Ashford grew up surrounded by old Carolina money-the kind of family whose lake house had been passed down for generations, where summers meant sunrise jet ski rides, long afternoons on the water, and nights around the fire pit with lifelong friends. Now a junior at the University of South Carolina and a member of one of the school's top fraternities, Gray has never had to question where he belongs.
Lakynn Grace Brooks has spent every summer working at her family's marina, helping her uncle keep the business running while tourists come and go. She knows every cove of the lake, every boat slip, and every regular by name. Hardworking, independent, and unimpressed by flashy lifestyles, she's learned that people who are only visiting rarely leave a lasting impression.
But when one broken jet ski forces their paths to cross, the summer neither of them expected begins.
He came to the lake expecting another perfect summer. She'd spent her whole life there believing people like him never stayed. Neither of them knew one chance meeting at the marina would change everything.
