Kaeli never expected to spend her summer trapped in a mansion with a cocky stepbrother, his annoying best friend, and a new family she barely knows. But when her mom marries a wealthy Arizona businessman, Kaeli and her twin brother, Logan, are forced to leave behind their Boston life and start fresh.
Drew Knight is everything Kaeli can't stand-arrogant, flirty, and always looking for a reaction. From the moment they meet, sparks fly... just not the good kind. But as summer unfolds and secrets slip through the cracks, Kaeli realizes there's more to Drew than his smug grin and easy charm. And maybe-just maybe-falling for the one person she swore to hate isn't the worst thing in the world.
Meanwhile, Logan finds himself in an entirely different dilemma-falling for his best friend, Regan. They've been inseparable for years, but when she visits for the summer, feelings he's long buried start rising to the surface. Will risking their friendship be worth it?
Rikki never expected to catch feelings for Drew's sister, Allie. She's bold, fearless, and completely captivating. But as the two grow closer, Rikki realizes that love isn't always as simple as she thought.
And then there's Blair and Parker-a romance doomed before it even begins. With complicated histories, messy emotions, and the weight of their families' expectations, their connection might just burn before it ever truly starts.
Four love stories. One unforgettable summer. And a house full of secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Will love bring them together, or will it tear them apart?
It's been thirteen years since Tyler has seen Mikey for more than just a handful of minutes in a passing visit. A ten year age difference hadn't stopped her crush, not after the fateful day he'd saved her life; he'd been home for Christmas, visiting his sister Val, who's married to Tyler's older brother, Reggie. Val had given birth to their first baby on Thanksgiving, and that Christmas was the first time Mikey was coming home to see him. As Tyler had been leaving the house, she'd slipped on the ice, hitting her head and knocking herself out. If Mikey hadn't found her when he did, rushed her to the emergency room, she would have died of hypothermia.
That's when her obviously unreciprocated crush had started. She'd known him all her life. She was nothing more than his best friend's kid sister, the one he barely saw since making it to the N.B.A. and having spent the last ten years playing out in California. But he's home now, having been traded to Washington, the same city Tyler just happens to be going to school in.
At twenty-one can she finally catch his attention? Can she finally tell him about her crush? The one she's had for the last five years. Will he ever see her as anything other than his best friend's little sister?
