Spending an entire summer in a beach house? Yes, please.
But what if you had to share that paradise with your one-hundred-and-eighty-degree opposite who’s repelled by your career choice?
Tessa Trask is an easy-going artist reeling from a life detour and a business setback. She seeks solace at her friend’s beach house while she transforms it from a fishing cottage into a vacation haven.
Wyatt Henry is a no-nonsense businessman who’s helping his friend evaluate the real estate market to sell the beach house. Recovering from a broken foot and dealing with a lawsuit prevent him from being pleasant company at times.
A lack of communication sets up a potential disaster. The house is roomy enough for two people, but when personalities, emotions, an uninvited guest—and a stray cat—add to the mix, something’s got to give.
Will Tessa discover her life’s path or continue to flounder? Will Wyatt heal, both physically and emotionally during the summer or hold onto past hurts? Can they help each other find common ground that leads them from being adversaries to more, or will their personalities collide and keep them apart forever?
