Iceland was where they became inseparable. Spain was supposed to be their paradise. But warm weather isn't the only thing waiting for them on the coast.
For Dave, returning from an unforgettable trip to Iceland meant carrying a quiet, unspoken truth: he is falling in love with his best friend, Lucy. When they both score summer jobs at a hotel along the sunny beaches of Málaga, Spain, it feels like the fresh start they desperately need.
Lucy is trying to rebuild herself after escaping a toxic, controlling relationship with her ex, Dean. She relies on Dave as her safe harbor, but moving on isn't that simple. As shadows of her past follow her to Spain-and unexpected danger looms over their summer escape-the unspoken tension between them begins to boil over.
Dave is determined to protect her, but standing by her side means confronting terrifying truths about what she endured, navigating jealousy and unpredictable storms, and figuring out if they are truly meant to be just friends.
Can two broken hearts find healing under the Spanish sun, or will past wounds destroy their chance at a future together?
