It seemed the perfect setting to clear her head and prepare for the future while letting go of her past. But when her best friend Chelsea joins her at the last minute, Kate's plans for a quiet summer go right out the window. First she loses her prized dorm room and she and Chelsea are forced to sink their life savings into a five-bedroom rental. As if finding three roommates in the middle of the season wasn't hard enough, it turns out the tenant in the adjoining boat house just happens to be Justin Garret, the sexy lifeguard from last summer--the very person Kate's been trying so hard to forget. And to top it all off, her newest roommate, "Racy" Grace Caywood, also shares a past with Justin. Now Kate must decide: is she strong enough to stay and deal with Justin, or should she play it safe and leave, but miss out on all the fun? less

When Kate's father refers to the beach house as a "love shack," he's not so far from the truth. The fact is, everyone's hooking up-but are they connecting with the right people, or is it just one big tease?

When Chelsea's Irish boyfriend Connor is threatened with deportation, she offers her hand in marriage. But just as she's ready to walk down the aisle, someone from Connor's past shows up with an unwelcome surprise. Will their future together be over before it's begun?

Grace unexpectedly finds herself the heiress to a small fortune. With her newfound wealth, Grace is suddenly transformed from party girl to den mother, and invites all her beach buds back to live together again-only this time, they'll be doing it in style.
