Bella Jameson works as a lifeguard at a fancy country club her father's college friend owns. Ever since she was little, the Kingsley's have treated her like family, and they know she's content to work alone all summer while she's away from college. But when Walt, the owner of Kingsley's Ranch--and her boss--introduces her to cocky, rude, and completely arrogant James, she hates him from the moment they meet. And she doesn't try to hide her unhappiness when Walt Kingsley introduces him as her co-worker. Bella doesn't think she can survive without drowning beneath the mockery, insults and hate the two share. But worse yet, she doesn't know if she can get through the summer without going under.
