Until tragedy struck.
At seventeen, the world MJ knew shattered into a million pieces, scattered across the quiet sands of her sleepy beach hometown.
Now, at twenty-eight, MJ's life is a far cry from what she imagined.
She’s stuck in a never-ending loop, each day blending into the next. By day, she bartends at her parents' seaside restaurant; by night, she chases elusive words for a book that feels like it’ll never exist. The past—and the grief—still lingers, keeping her trapped in a life that doesn’t seem to move forward.
Enter Grey Prescott.
Charming, wealthy, and undeniably attractive—Grey is everything MJ usually avoids. A summer transplant, the type who lives for the thrill of a whirlwind romance and vanishes before fall, leaving nothing but disappointment in his wake. And despite his persistence, she’s not falling for it.
Or so she thought.
As the summer unfolds, MJ finds herself irresistibly drawn to Grey, discovering a connection and a passion that deepens by the day. But even as he inspires her to look towards the future once again, she can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to Grey than meets the eye.
Can one summer really change everything? Or is the past just too hard to leave behind?
