Every summer ends-but some leave scars that never fade.
Lia Monroe has always believed in second chances. She's given them to her broken family, to the inn falling apart by the shore, and-most of all-to Caleb Reyes, the boy who disappeared three years ago without a word.
Now he's back, older, colder, and hiding something she's not ready to face.
But when Jesse Blake, a stranger with a camera and a quiet smile, checks into the cottage next door, everything begins to unravel. Because Jesse isn't just a guest-he's the key to a secret that could destroy what's left of Lia's family.
As August days bleed into restless nights, Lia finds herself torn between two boys, haunted by one summer that changed everything, and forced to confront the truth:
Some endings don't wait for permission.
And not every love story is meant to be saved.
