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.
