She ran once. This time, he’s not letting go.
Seven years have passed since I spent a perfect summer in Cascade Bay, falling for a surfer who made me believe in staying. Then my anxiety spiraled, my family needed me, and I ran—ghosting Kai Orosco without explanation and breaking both our hearts.
Now I'm back, desperate to finish my indie game before my funding dies, hiding in my grandmother's beach cottage and hoping to avoid the man I never stopped thinking about.
But in a town of 3,000 people, avoiding your ex is impossible. Especially when a tourist's photo of us goes viral, and suddenly the world thinks we're back together.
I need publicity for my failing game company. Kai needs to prove stability to his demanding investor. The solution? Fake a summer romance. Perform for the cameras. Walk away clean in September.
Except Kai's surf lessons feel like seduction. Small-town gossip creates real expectations. And every fake date reveals the truth—our feelings never died, they've just been waiting for a second chance.
As the summer heat rises and the performance becomes reality, we'll have to decide: are we brave enough to stop running and finally stay?
A scorching second chance romance set in a Pacific Northwest surf town, featuring fake dating, forced proximity, a grumpy hero, a brilliant, anxious heroine, and enough steam to fog up your beach umbrella.
Genre: New Adult Romance
