Indie thought a week in Hawaii would be the perfect escape-a break from school, family drama, and the guys she's done wasting time on. Tagging along with her two best friends and determined to stay in her own lane; she's set on sun, solitude, and self-reflection.
But that plan derails the second she crosses paths with Kaleo-a local surfer who's effortlessly confident, frustratingly charming, and sees straight through her defenses. What starts as casual encounters turns into something neither of them expected.
The problem? Indie has a whole life waiting for her back home... and she's not sure if this island love is meant to last longer than a vacation.
