The love story that was never supposed to happen… becomes the one they can’t walk away from.
Meredith has built a life on her own terms—a successful photographer in Manhattan, keeping everything just out of reach.
Evan lives over 2,500 miles away. A Southern California native, he runs a surf school, spends his days in the water, and comes home sun-warmed and unbothered, his dog Bear never far behind. His life is simple by design—and he intends to keep it that way.
The attraction between them is immediate. Unavoidable. Complicated by the fact that Meredith’s sister is married to Evan’s best friend.
So they give it a boundary.
Call it what it is.
Just for fun.
It’s supposed to stay easy. Temporary. Something they can walk away from without looking back.
But some connections refuse to stay contained.
The more they try to keep their distance, the harder it becomes to ignore what’s building between them—something deeper, something neither of them planned for.
And neither of them knows how to stop.
Because this was never supposed to matter.
Now it’s the one thing they can’t let go.
