Noelle Aguilar swore she'd left the past in the sand - including that summer, that kiss, and Harry Styles, the boy who became a global obsession... and the secret heartbreak she never told anyone about.
Now 21 and juggling two jobs under the Florida sun, Noelle isn't looking for anything complicated - just cool nights, cold drinks, and forgetting her off-and-on ex who won't stay gone.
But when the Styles family rolls back into her quiet beach town for the first time in years, Harry's grief-stricken, off the radar, and hiding something. He's changed.
Harry's older. Quieter. Still magnetic. And still looking at her like he remembers exactly what didn't happen between them. The tension returns. The past burns hotter than ever. And when a bonfire turns violent and secrets start slipping like tan lines, Noelle's not sure if she's falling into a summer romance - or an emotional riptide.
He's supposed to be untouchable.
She's done waiting around.
But some sparks don't die out - they just wait for the right kindling.
