When Emery's family inherits a beach house on the Jersey Shore, she expects a quiet summer. What she doesn't expect is Finn - the local guy with messy hair, a complicated past, and a plan of his own.
Emery needs a date for the cotillion her mom signed her up for. Finn needs to make his ex, Jessica, jealous. The solution? A fake relationship. Easy enough.
But as late-night drives, secret glances, and beachside moments blur the lines between real and pretend, Emery and Finn find themselves tangled in something they didn't plan for.
Now they have to decide: keep faking it for the sake of Finn's plan... or admit it might be something more.

But this year, everything is different. Riley Brooks, freshly heartbroken and determined not to let anyone see her crumble, returns to the beach town that holds both her happiest memories and her biggest humiliations. Unfortunately, her ex-the boy who shattered her confidence-and his new girlfriend are staying two cabins away, watching her every move. Backed into a corner, Riley blurts out one desperate lie: She already has a new boyfriend. A cooler one. A hotter one. A surfer. And by pure accident (or fate), the person standing behind her when she lies... is Jace Carter-the boy who spent their whole childhood teasing her, the boy with sun-bleached hair and trouble in his smile, the boy who absolutely should've walked away. Instead, he slips an arm around her and plays along. Now Riley and Jace are fake-dating through bonfires, beach parties, jealous exes, and late-night boardwalks. But the longer they pretend, the harder it becomes to tell what's fake and what's something else entirely-something warm, breathless, and real. As old secrets rise, new feelings spark, and drama spreads through the beach town like wildfire, Riley and Jace will have to confront the truth: They started as a lie... but they might end as everything.
